​@atix50 Nope it's the tax. Look at Apple, Amazon and Google's tax structure. The head office that owns the product rights are in Ireland. They then lease those rights to subsidiaries in say, the UK. All the profits are generated in the UK but after paying the Irish head office there are no profits in the UK, only in Ireland where the company tax is bugger all. Everyone loses except the company. They pay nothing to the civil infrastructure and stable society that allows them to operate. It's a shitty situation.

Not sure what the Bermudan leasing companies can do, but I'm pretty sure that Ireland will manage to get the EU to separately sanction the airlines in question until the aircraft have been returned and any value loss in long-grounded planes that have been cannibalised for parts has been compensated. There's no reason we should make it easy for these airlines to get away with theft, even once the war is over.

Won't happen. Planes now have more range and can go around to the south and actually do so. An Anchorage stopover will significantly increase ticket price and I know how it was then. Aside from plane range, the Anchorage stopover was needed because of the national security law then which didn't allow Koreans to travel to communist countries except for government approved cases after anticommunist education at a facility. Two Korean airliners were shot down over the Soviet Union. This law was changed in 1991 as the soviet union didn't exist anymore and those charged before were acquitted.

What sanctions, seizure of assets and tyrannical dictate mean at a functional level is that more countries now have more reason than ever to de-dollarize. And increasingly, countries are doing just that ... and as much as they can. Who, after all, wants to trade with an unreliable trading party apt to abuse the financial transaction system (SWIFT) and/or freeze assets at the drop of the hat. What would you think if your bank did that? And by the way, the non-stop invading of countries and instituting a questionable planetary world heath tyranny is not really an awe inspiring foreign policy either. And although countries don't vocalize this sort of thing out loud, don't think for a minute that by now some of the various intelligence agencies around the world have not figured out a thing or two over the past two years, For airlines in particular, adding huge numbers of flight hours to flights has to mean big raises in air fares to cover huge increase in fuel costs (adding to inflation). As to Russia, sanctions are just more of a reason to make their own stuff, and maybe more reason to lease less from undependable foreign suppliers. Basically, this thing with the Ukraine, sanctions and bullying the world in process is going to do much more damage to the United States and its 'allies' than to Russia or China. Power and industrial clout continues to shift to the East. The United States continues to unravel.

Finlands location has been great for Finnair. Before Soviet Union airspace was closed, Finnair was the first airline flying non-stop from Europe to Japan. Nowadays the same location helps to cut traveltime to Asia about 2 hours compared to flights from mainland Europe. Finnair has 17 destinations in Asia + four seasonal ones, one of the most by European carrier. This flight ban makes a huge cut into Finnairs operations. Good thing Finland owns majority of Finnair, so it will not go bankrupt.

Finnair is definitely taking a major hit here. They must also anticipated this situation to drag on for some time because they just canceled the HEL-CTS (Helsinki - Sapporo, Japan) itinerary I had booked for September, 2022. That’s 6 months from now!

At first I wondered if COMAC would work with Aviadvigatel to offer a PD-14 engine version of the C919 for the Russian (and other sanctioned) markets, but I think there's a few reasons this won't be on the cards. Firstly, the Russian govt won't want to create competition for the MC-21, which is competing in the same class as the C919, and which has, thanks to sanctions, had the A32x/B737 eliminated from the game. Secondly, the C919 uses a ton of *other* western components as well as the engines (including avionics, HVAC, landing gear, hydraulics, electrical systems and more), so swapping for Russian engines really wouldn't make much difference. The MS-21 also has a lot of foreign systems, but Russia has long legacy of domestic civil aviation that China doesn't, and would find substituting these foreign systems for domestic analogues much easier, as many of them already exist from the IL-96, TU-204/Tu-214 and IL-114. Indeed, if push came to shove, and we enter a prolonged period of Russian isolation, they could even scrap the MS-21 altogether and instead update the older, but already existing and entirely domestic TU-204/TU-214, using the PD-14 engines, new interior, aerodynamic tweaks and the like. I suspect Sino-Russian co-operation would move more to the CR-929 which is much less mature, so can relatively easily be "sanctions-proofed" from the outset, and both countries would benefit from co-operating. Though Russia does have the IL-96, it is difficult to update, as ultimately a quad-jet is still a quad-jet, and as a Soviet design evolution of the IL-86 it was designed for robustness rather than economy - it's very over-engineered and inherited a lot of the IL-86s innovative but decidedly left-field design choices, and even before the war it was clear that Russia couldn't realistically finance (let alone project manage - something post-Soviet Russia has struggled with) a completely new wide body design.

@@lmlmd2714 Very good points, although I think cooperation between China and Russia on a new aircraft is unlikely, as the Chinese will want to sell any new airliner to the west. Obviously including Russian parts on the aircraft would preclude that.

Russians know how to make engines too. What do think their migs use to fly? Brooms?

@@simplyincorrigible7708 you would need to totally redesign the plane for a new engine, which would take most of a decade.

@@jackroutledge352 The CR-929 is semi-Russian owned and is an ongoing project. Could China manufacture a de-Russianised jet? Possible but they wouldn't do it unless there is a big demand from the countries that sanction Russia. That won't happen. Though licensed manufacturing of Russian parts in China is possible. I guess that would enable marketing of the jet in the West. The C-919 is another topic. It is 100% Chinese owned but has a LOT of Western parts. It was a project planned for profits in a completely different age. Since Trump, the Chinese companies' and government's view on foreign tech have changed a lot. Before that buying as much Western tech as possible was considered the best business plan for many reasons. Indigenization projects were overwhelmingly central government driven. Now Western tech (particularly American) is viewed toxic and is avoided if possible. Even private corporations with no gov support are investing in domestic tech and choosing domestic products even if that costs them. They don't want to become the second Huawei. The C-919 will likely have a 100% Chinese variant in future.

As a resident of anchorage, I can confirm air traffic has increased immensely since the start of Covid, and will continue to do so. Because of the location, it will be a crucial component. Remember, Alaska is the northernmost, easternmost, and westernmost state.

@nehem Nevertheless the Anchorage stopover worked successfully for many years. You must also realise that, after two air disasters, confidence in Malaysian Airlines has taken somewhat of a beating. There may be other airlines that will fly into Russian airports, Etihad, Emirates, for instance, but then again, the West can make it very (ahem!) difficult to continue to do so on any worthwhile basis, altering flight patterns/air space (nothing like Alliances!) and so forth.
