Russian Aviation Authority recently revoked Angara Airlines' commercial flight permit starting from Nov 5th. I think this is quite harsh, it's like they're punishing the entire airline industry . What if the plane had a technical fault that was not detectable by modern equipment? I've heard rumors that the airline had been taking some... 'creative liberties' with their maintenance schedule . Whatever the reason, this is going to send shockwaves through the Russian aviation industry. Will they be able to recover from this? Only time will tell .
