IATA against Russian parts ban

memo to IATA:opinion noted. Memo to BOeing/Airbus and all others with replacement parts: shut down every replacement part source that russia has from western manufacturers and suppliers. IATA has instantly become silly, insular and irrelevant.

Russia compromised air safety, not Boeing or Airbus.

You're worried about safety when we need to stop tens of thousands from dying? Every little bit helps as we need to choke Putin to death.

Cluster bombs would seem to compromise safety as well.

ISTA again on the (morally) wrong side of an issue. Me thinks they need a healthy dose of reality and public/social media shaming.

I am against collective punishment and the parts ban has some aspects of that. But safety isn't compromised by a parts ban, putting unsafe airplanes in the air is what compromises safety. Russian passenger safety is guaranteed (or not) by their regulator, always has been and always will be. If that regulator decides that they want to play Russian (haha!) roulette with their commercial aircraft then the responsibility falls on them.
