Aeroflot Group has completed its first independent overhaul of three CFM International CFM56-5B engines installed on Aeroflot's A320-200 aircraft. The repairs were conducted by AeroTrustTechnics, the holding's subsidiary focused on engine maintenance. In an interview with Rossiya-24 on December 26, Aeroflot Group CEO Sergei Aleksandrovsky shared plans to inaugurate an engine repair facility in the fourth quarter of 2027. Due to sanctions imposed in 2022, Russian airlines lost access to foreign maintenance centres and spares for CFM and Pratt & Whitney engines.

Separately, Aleksandrovsky added that the flag carrier is aiming to wet lease an additional unspecified aircraft in 2026. Aeroflot currently wet leases three A330-300s from iFly Airlines, having received approval for domestic leasing in September 2024.
