What did the Russians do with the Airbus A320 that made an emergency landing in a field near Novosibirsk

Recently, there have been many comments in Russia that flying Airbus aircraft on Russian carriers is risky due to a lack of parts and support from Western companies.

An Airbus A320 of the Russian carrier Ural Airlines made an emergency landing in a field on September 12, 2023.

4 months later, he is still there, or at least what is left of him, reported the Russian publication newizv.ru.

After the accident 4 months ago, the general director of Ural Airlines, Sergey Skuratov, suggested that the plane could be restored and would be allowed to operate again.

It is now clear that this will not happen.

Thanks to the sanctions, almost every plane becomes „golden“ and strategically important in Russia.

After the accident, consideration was given to disassembling, reassembling and repairing the aircraft.

It was announced that it was possible to start repairs directly in the field.

It was necessary to build a runway directly „in the field“ to take it out, but this proved financially impossible.

It won’t even be able to take off from the field, experts concluded.

FlightMode reported that it was not financially feasible to continue efforts to free the plane from where it had been for almost four months.

The head of the Ubinsky district, Oleg Konyuk, previously reported that the Ural carrier had rented space in the field for a year in advance.

The plane is parked in a field and is guarded.

Airbus introduced restrictive measures against Russian carriers, refusing to service their planes.

In this case, it is almost impossible for Russian engineers to conduct research to establish the safety of the subsequent use of the aircraft.

That is, all that remains for them is to disassemble the Airbus and „distribute“ it for spare parts. Thus, other aircraft of the airline will receive additional spare parts.

A similar situation happened with another aircraft of the carrier – Airbus A321.

In 2019, it got stuck in a cornfield right after takeoff from Moscow. A bird hit his engine. The components were removed from the aircraft, after which the fuselage was cut into pieces.

Recall that after the results of the aviation commission, it was found that the pilots were guilty of the accident with the plane landing in a field near Novosibirsk.

They miscalculated fuel reserves, failed to take into account the position of the landing gear and doors after a hydraulic system failure, and failed to ensure that fuel was used as predicted.

Therefore, halfway through the flight, it turned out that there was not enough fuel to fly to the alternate airport and return to the departure airport.

Let us note that the situation in Russian aviation is becoming more and more deplorable, writes the Russian publication newizv.ru.

Various aviation accidents related to aircraft malfunctions are happening more and more often.

As a result, passengers cannot fly to their destination for hours, and flights are delayed or even postponed.

For example, immediately after the New Year holidays, Russian tourists stayed on the Thai island of Phuket.

400 people were waiting to take off on an Aeroflot flight, but a breakdown of the plane prevented them from making it on time.

On Wednesday, January 10, Ural Airlines was unable to take off from Makhachkala for several hours due to engine failure.
