The leasing companies have mostly settled their disputes with russian carriers last year.

Aircraft leasing firms have struck settlements with Russia totalling around $2.7 billion for over a quarter of the roughly 400 aircraft stuck in the country since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

In return, international lessors handed ownership of the planes to state insurance company NSK, which transferred them to Russian airlines.
The initial scarcity of spares was also resolved by finding alternative supply chains
