“The document signed by the Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation directly indicates the need to abolish all safety standards and technical control of aircraft“— Alexander Nevzorov January 4, 2024, — “In essence and meaning, this is an order to “close your eyes to everything and fly on something you can’t fly on.”“.
Russia continues to wage an aggressive war against Ukraine, for which it has been subject to international sanctions.
While many countries stopped flights with Russia, Israel maintained flights, which calls into question the condemnation of aggression – the Israeli airline El Al remained one of the few that continued to operate flights to the Russian capital, despite Russian aggression against Ukraine
And against the backdrop of the cessation of flights by the Israeli airline El Al to Moscow, Israelis were left with a choice: fly Russian airlines or cancel the trip altogether.
However, the issue of the safety of Russian air carriers raises serious concerns, especially after an analysis of the situation by a famous Russian journalist Alexander Nevzorov.
He published a document (link to document)signed by the Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, which directly states “the need to abolish all safety standards and technical control of aircraft of Russian airlines.”
“Airlines are not offered, but categorically indicated that the “new reality” eliminates the standards for technical supervision of the condition of aircraft.”
“Everything is logical. In accordance with international and Russian standards, the entire aircraft fleet of the Russian Federation must be taken out of circulation and grounded.
But the risk of “instability and unrest of the population if air services are stopped” outweighs the risk of several possible plane crashes in the near future“.
Nevzorov about Russian aviation:
Alexander Nevzorov categorically criticizes the Russian authorities for neglecting aviation safety:
“The Russian authorities issued an order: 'Close your eyes to everything and fly what you can't fly.'”
According to him, due to sanctions, Russian airlines are deprived of access to original spare parts and qualified service:
“For them, what is more important is not real safety, but the appearance of normal operation.”
“Everything is understandable: while maintaining relative external well-being, the system rots from the inside, devouring itself. These processes occur not only in civil aviation, but everywhere.
The consequences of a criminal and schizophrenic war will inevitably kill or paralyze all industries.”
Air transportation situation:
Sanctions have imposed restrictions on Russian aviation, which has led to an increase in emergency situations. The planes that Russian airlines use for flights from Israel do not undergo proper technical control. And the use of outdated models, such as the Superjet 100 and Tu-214, only increases the risks.
Technical problems and consequences:
Nevzorov emphasizes that the Russian authorities deliberately send faulty planes into flight:
“This is not just a mistake. This is a crime.”
Rejection of safety standards amid international isolation leads to serious threats to passengers.
Why does Israel continue to fly to Russia?
The continuation of flights between Israel and Russia may be perceived in the world as support for a regime that is waging a terrorist war. Israel, despite its support for democratic values, remains a bridge that does not fully condemn Russia's actions. This is an important moral issue, because maintaining air links with the aggressor against the backdrop of war is already indirect support for aggression itself.
Conclusion: safety first
Continued flights to Russia become not only a moral compromise, but also a real security threat. Passengers must understand that flying on Russian planes under current conditions is not just a risk, but a real threat to life.
NAnews – Israel News calls for a review of policies and condemnation of aggression, and for potential passengers of Russian airlines not to expose themselves to the threat of disasters.
