【Due to the Middle East conflict, Russian airlines turn to China for spare parts】According to Russian media SHOT, Russian airlines previously used Dubai as one of the logistics hubs to procure aircraft spare parts through "gray channels". These parts were transported to Russia via the UAE for use by aviation operators. After the outbreak of the Middle East conflict, this situation rapidly deteriorated. Previously, most of the parts purchased through the UAE were aircraft consumables. Now, airlines have been forced to turn to alternative channels that were less used before - China and Central Asian countries.
Another issue is the maintenance of aircraft engines. Some Russian airlines had previously carried out related repairs in Iran. This situation may affect the widely used Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 models. Previously, the airworthiness maintenance of Russian aircraft was mainly provided by three local companies in Iran, and the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency had highly evaluated their service quality in 2025.
Russian flight safety expert Alexander Romanov said that the current supply situation of spare parts is still under control. Russian airlines have backup plans and alternative transportation routes to obtain the required parts. Aviation #MiddleEastSituation
