On November 12, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Saveliev announced that Russian companies are able to conduct full inspections of aircraft, including foreign ones, which are part of the fleet of domestic airlines. He noted that more than 1.1 thousand passenger liners are currently in operation in the Russian Federation. There are enough enterprises in the country to serve them.

Earlier, on October 8, Yadrov informed that work had begun on the issue of retrofitting Superjet passenger aircraft from Russian-French SaM146 engines to domestic PD-8 engines. To implement this initiative, it is necessary to complete its certification.
