Airline "Russia" refused to use aircraft An-148.

The reasons for the suspension of the use of passenger aircraft were developed anti-crisis measures and optimization of the Russian air carrier. It is expected that due to the decommissioning of An-148 aircraft, the amount of expenses will be reduced - according to some reports, the measures will save companies about 25 million dollars.

Total airline "Russia"Suspended the operation of 6 An-148, and in all likelihood, these aircraft will be withdrawn from leasing in the coming weeks.
