Russian carriers pay for offshore jurisdictions “full landing” of liners in Russia. According to TASS, Russian airlines operate more than 800 foreign-made aircraft registered in foreign offshore jurisdictions. 95% were hit – because they have the “nationality” of Great Britain – or rather, belong to it, Bermuda and Ireland.
The reason is that the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA), owned by the United Kingdom, has announced the suspension of certificates of airworthiness of aircraft of Russian airlines operated under an agreement between the two countries. “International sanctions against the aviation sector have affected the ability to control the safety of aircraft of Russian airlines in the Bermuda Aircraft Register. The airworthiness system has been so limited that the BCAA cannot say with certainty that these aircraft are airworthy, ”the ICAA said in a statement.
