The country's aviation agency recommended that Aeroflot stop international flying from March 8, 2022. S7 said this week that it would stop all international flying on Saturday.
Russian airlines that fly overseas with non-Russian planes are at risk of being repoed by the leasing companies. The request doesn't apply to Russian airlines that fly on airplanes that aren't at risk of being seized.
Both Boeing and Airbus ended their contracts with Russian airlines. The Boeing and Airbus planes flying in Russia don't get the usual maintenance and spare parts.
Aeroflot will cancel tickets with an outbound date from March 6 to March 8. Passengers with one-way tickets can fly until flights are available.
Aeroflot's decision applies to its subsidiaries.
The only international service that is not affected is the satellite of Russia.
Conclusion.
It is difficult for Russians to leave the country because there are not many airlines outside of the Gulf.
Western companies are not allowed to do business in Russia. Russia's inability to trade in hard currencies due to EU, UK, and US sanctions are some of the banking issues.
Russian airlines can fly those planes domestically for a while, but eventually they will run into issues with maintenance and spare parts.
