Russia's Airline Fleet to Shrink by a Third by 2030
By 2030, Russia's airline industry could see a significant reduction in its fleet size. Up to a third of its aircraft, including around 339 planes, are expected to be retired. Additionally, approximately 200 helicopters, predominantly Russian-made, could also be phased out.
The retirement process will primarily target older aircraft. Around 230 Russian-made planes, mostly over 40 years old, are likely to be removed from service. This includes over 190 foreign-made aircraft that have reached the end of their serviceable life. However, it's important to note that no specific details are available about the retirement plans for these aircraft between 2022 and 2030.
This modernization drive is not unique to Russia. Airlines worldwide are under increasing pressure to update their fleets due to efficiency and safety regulations. While the specific plans for Russian airlines are not detailed in the provided results, it's clear that the industry is preparing for a significant fleet renewal.
By 2030, Russia's airline fleet could see a significant reduction, with up to a third of its aircraft and around 200 helicopters being retired. This move, driven by global industry trends, will likely lead to a more modern and efficient fleet in Russia's skies.
