Russian Carriers Reportedly Force Employees to Downplay Aircraft Defects
MOSCOW, RUSSIA — Sources within Russia's flag carrier Aeroflot have revealed a concerning practice of suppressing information about aircraft defects, according to the investigative news organization Proekt. (www.airlinerwatch.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
In response to the comment about Putin flying on Aeroflot, that's unlikely to happen. Multiple news reports in the past have said he travels on a specially built armored train, including travel on some secret rail networks, because of his pathological fear of being killed. Travel by rail is more difficult to track than flying by air. Ask Elon Musk!
I wonder what is the motivation behind this .All human life is important in the world , all nationalities are important for the flying industry and all passengers should be excluded from being scapegoated at times .
Let’s not mix the airline business with politics, there are two different issues.
Hopefully mankind will get along well soon in the future .

One hopes that Putin and his toadies are frequent fliers on AeroSplatt airlines.
Allegedly, reportedly? This isn’t a news article. It’s anti-Russia propaganda. The west is ashamed Aeroflot and other Russian carriers continue to operate safely while under western sanctions. Boeing and Airbus have shown all carriers that their commitment to service and safety is solely dependent on the global political climate. Their willingness to bend to external political pressure will have a negative impact on their future.
Aeroflot, the airline where everyone claps when the pilot lands safely. The RuZZians have been trying to sell their Sukhoi Superjet 130 with little or no success. How they expect to compete with Embraer and Bombardier is a mystery.
Looks like Aeroflot has become Aerofaukked as far as passengers are concerned. Too bad; I hear it was dangerous enough before this downgrade.
