This measure allows companies to continue using those devices for domestic flights despite Western sanctions. If they flew abroad they would be confiscated.
“Most of the planes that could fly abroad are aircraft that they have rented, that have European or American origin, and that have been stolen from their rightful owners, the lessors,” said the European Commission’s Director General for Transport, Henrik Hololei.
The country’s authorities are “seriously violating international air law and also the basic law of civil aviation, the Chicago convention”Hololei warned, during his speech at an online conference of the European air traffic monitoring body, Eurocontrol.
“There are around 10,000 million (of euros), more than 500 devices seized by the Russians and registered with them“, warned the general director of Eurocontrol, Eamonn Brennan. “This creates a very difficult situation for European rental companies and for insurers,” he added.
