Aeroflot is building a jet-engine repair plant by 2028 to tackle the fallout from Western sanctions—aiming for up to 70 heavy repairs annually. The new facility will service CFM engines and Russian-made PD-8/PD-14 types—critical since Airbus/Boeing parts are blocked. Sanctions already grounded half of Russia’s A320 neo fleet and led to multiple engine failures in recent months. This is Aeroflot’s push toward self-reliance—but also highlights how tough it’s become without Western support. Would you feel safe flying on an aircraft serviced in this plant? Let’s chat about it—anyone flown Aeroflot lately or noticed differences?
