Volga Dnepr AN124's in prohibited from Operations order!
Ukraine Courts have issued arrest Warrants for 5 of Volga Dnepr AN124's!
Russian Airlines Are Prohibited from Operation of Ruslan Aircraft « Ilyashev & Partners Law Firm

Can you actually arrest an aircraft in Ukrainian law!?
As much as I understand the motivations of both sides of the dispute it is regrettable that this could not be resolved in a more mature and responsible way. Not a good day for civil aviation IMHO.

I believe Volga Dnepr have done some life extension exercise which is legally a TC holder privilege to sign off, but obviously it was done due to political issues where Antonov Bureau said no. Legally it is a challenging situation as Antonov is a TC holder and can declare any unit unserviceable despite all works were done - here we looking into sonething similar to Iranian and Syrian Boeing & Airbus units...
This is indeed quite messy.
My understanding is that the Ukrainian need some Russian made equipments (I understand it was / is especially true for the 225) and similarly the Russian are in need of Ukrainian parts (especially true for the engines I believe).
I would hope cooler heads will prevail but not too optimistic 🤔

My sister used to go and arrest ships, I would imagine it wold be a similar thing.
An124
Yes, it can be done. I was on a 124 that was arrested, ("seized"), in Brussels due to a dispute between a Cypriot company and the UA Government. It was held for quite some time. Even though Antonov Airlines was/is a separate commercial company, ADB, the parent organisation, was a Government entity, therefore the aeroplanes were Government property and fair game for seizure. it had happened to an aeroplane at Goose Bay previously.

Just got wind of this - looks like it might be more complicated than just ADs.
Does it relate to the North Pole spat in April?

Hope it helps
