(Reuters) - China has refused to supply Russian airlines with aircraft parts, an official at Russia's aviation authority was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying on Thursday, after Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Airbus halted supply of components.

Russia's aviation sector is being squeezed by Western sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine, with Russia's foreign ministry warning this week that the safety of Russian passenger flights was under threat.

Agencies including Interfax quoted Valery Kudinov, a Rosaviatsia official responsible for maintaining airplane airworthiness, as saying that Russia would look for opportunities to source parts from countries including Turkey and India after a failed attempt to obtain them from China.

He also said Russian companies were registering their planes, many of which had been registered abroad, in Russia after the U.S. and European Union sanctions on aviation and that he expects some others to be returned to leasing companies.

Separately, a draft law published on Thursday showed the Russian government plans to order domestic airlines to pay for leased aircraft in roubles and could bar them from returning planes to foreign companies if leases are cancelled.

fake online news. no body can confirm
'an official at Russia's aviation authority was quoted by Russian news' -- Does anybody still BELIEVE what an autocrat or a  communist says? -- LOL
That's information to entertain the public ,China and Russia Bond is strong always has been .
Communists have eaten other communists before, China will take advantage of Russia like they do with North Korea. Russia has no friends right now, and the one you claim to be their friend is actually a scavanger. Dasvidaniya, mother Russia!
You actually believe in terms like communists, democrats, westerners etc?? Everybody is just acting in any way that brings money in....
I don't think this story is factual as it makes no sense for China to do such a thing. Biden is a weak leader, and Harris is even more so. China is stating this publicly while parts are falling off a truck headed for Moscow.
Hmmmm Biden has unified the NATO alliance rather than seeking to weaken them as last administration did. I bet you still think trump won. 🤣
yeah, only problem with your “statement” is that we have been watching war real time so *******are YOU talking about?
Qanon luno
Russia has to watch out for ally vote of no confidence
