Russia’s Bid to Lease Planes From Ethiopia Falls Through Amid Sanctions Pressure
Russia’s latest attempt to bolster its struggling fleet of commercial aircraft by leasing planes from Ethiopia has ended in failure, Ethiopian media reported, as international sanctions continue to isolate the country’s aviation sector.
Russia has tried to negotiate with Ethiopia for the lease of civil aircraft by Ethiopian Airlines, but it has been denied, and the media have previously reported that the parties are negotiating a deal, but the CEO of the airline carrier Mesfin Tasev has "decidably denied" them, calling them "perfectly false." The details are in RTVI material.
In the past, Iran's air carriers have been subjected to this kind of sanctions.
Ethiopia, one of the world's poorest countries, is supposed to help "Greater Russia" maintain air transport. Moscow wants everything from Addis Ababa—planes, crews, maintenance, and insurance.
Owing to the Russian Federation ' s sanctions, direct access to western aviation equipment and spare parts is denied.
