Airbus and Boeing have already stopped supplying parts and aircraft to Russia. Today was the day that Embraer also confirmed that it will do the same.
Russia has become an important market for Embraer. Although its market share in Russia is not large (0.84%), that percentage has doubled by the end of 2018.
Two Russian companies are currently operating Embraer jets, S7 Airlines, with its 17 E170s and Pegas Fly, with six E190s. Private and executive jet operators also operate Embraer jets, which means that when these planes reach the number of cycles or hours for maintenance, they may have to stop operating as there will be no more spare parts.
“Embraer is closely monitoring the evolution of the situation and has been complying, and will continue to comply, with international sanctions imposed on Russia and certain regions of Ukraine, suspending parts, maintenance and technical support services for customers affected by sanctions”, it reads. in a statement from Embraer.
The action is part of a set of sanctions that have been imposed on Russia, mainly by Europe and the United States.
In this sense, the European Union wants leasing companies that lease planes to Russian companies to cancel their contracts by the end of March.
