The fate of hundreds of planes leased by Russian airlines from foreign companies grew murkier after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law letting the airlines register those planes and continue flying them.
Last week, Russia’s air-transport agency advised airlines with foreign-registered planes not to take them out of the country because of the risk they could be repossessed. “We are in uncharted territory. We don’t know if they will see these aircraft again,” said Helane Becker, an aviation analyst for financial-services firm Cowen. “Our guess is that use up whatever parts they have and then start cannibalising to keep aircraft flying, and when this is over everything gets sorted out.”
