Russia's flagship airline Aeroflot has grounded roughly 19.3% of its aircraft fleet owing to a shortage of spare parts attributed to Western sanctions. The grounding reflects ongoing pressure on Russian aviation supply chains, particularly components from Airbus and Pratt & Whitney. Insured-asset implications centre on fleet availability, business interruption exposure, and sanctions-related supply chain disruption for carriers operating in sanctioned jurisdictions.
