  • After being grounded in early 2022 due to Government of Canada restrictions, a Russian-registered cargo airplane is still parked at Toronto Pearson International Airport and it appears it's not moving anytime soon. Nick Westoll reports.

    let me get this straight; the government force grounded a plane *on a humanitarian mission* because of its country of origin, stole the plane and tried to give it to another country, then when that fell through, left the stolen plane to rot? all the while complaining it's taking up too much space in YYZ??
    and they expect volga-dnepr airlines- who had headquarters in the USA, who had been doing humanitarian freight work for several western nations, who had alliances with NATO states because of their assistance in freight work during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars- to just pay for not only the humongous list of repairs the plane needs, but also the falsely applied parking ticket??
    this is outlandish criminal behavior from the canadian government. unbelievable.

      Let's not forget the number foreign planes sized by Putin runs into the billions and they/are being stripped for parts, so will never be returned and they got caught up in the same situation. The sanctions came in Putin did what he could, sized planes and we did the same, not that they are worth anything to us. It's just in Democratic Countries, there are laws and rules, not just the word of the Dictator.

      Humanitarian? That was just a straight contract freight flight. It was 2022. Do you know what they would have done if that aircraft wasn't available? Flown the cargo on a 747, 777, A330, etc. And you're higher than a spy balloon if you think the cargo companies were cutting deals for covid test hauling in 2020. But if you're going to break the Capetown Convention, and steal 500+ aircraft, then don't cry about not getting a few of yours back.

    There is NO way Russians will pay any of these fees. Under the law, they did not abbandon the plane, they did not owe any cash to Canada therefore the plane was not seized for dept (like PIA aircrafts at some point across Europe - do we remember that?), it wasn't criminal activity of the crew nor trafficing illegal substances to or via Canada. The plane was not allowed to take off for political reasons. The crew went home on another flight (presumably) leaving fully functional plane behind because they were not allowed to fly anymore. Can't see any courts siding with YYZ on this matter. Might be it will be Canadians who will pay this fee, but hey!, since when any government cared for our money.

      Agreed, US and Canada have gone to war, and that history can be dirty. But to compare Russia to Canada as entities is a false equivalence.
      Putin is a criminal, and Russia is a Mafia state. I have travelled there extensively. Outside of Moscow, it is a third world country. Putin and his government steal everything. Putin may be the world's richest person if all his undeclared assets were accounted for. Why should Canada return a criminal's plane? It is the same result for a drug dealer who has his car seized when he is arrested. Canada by contrast, is not a Mafia state.

    The subject aircraft is very likely no longer airworthy due to maintenance inspections that are now past-due. A special ferry permit will be required to fly this behemoth out of CYYZ. The longer she sits idle, the more problematic this becomes. Hopefully, at a minimum, the four turbofans were preserved. If not, then significant engine maintenance - including high-power run-ups will be needed before flight.

      But after the invasion of Ukraine, when US & EU put sanctions up for doing no more Buisness with Russia, that included all their civilian companies. So no more flights directly into our out of Russia from the allied countries enforcing this, no more Russian carriers allowed to use the airspace too. So even though the Volga 124 was delivering aid Covid Aid to Canada, it just got caught up on unfortunately timed events.
      Since the plane is Russian and has too utilize Canadian airspace too get home, that's a violation, so the plane has too sit. The Volga Crew on the other hand, can fly out commercially to another country like China, that can get a connecting flight back to Russia. But until sanctions are lifted the plane goes nowhere.

Also, by the time the seizure order is over, the Ruble is likely to be worthless. They will need to fly in another plane of Rubles on pallets to cover the fees. Plus, the argument over who pays.
      Now, I don't know who owns the plane or the company that operated it. But, unless they were the Russian government, they are in the middle on this and will be arguing this out in court as it was not the companies fault that the plane was seized. Plus, they delivered a safe and airworthy plane, they will not get it back in that condition. Who is going to pay for the required maintenance to make it flyable again? And, the battles over was it prepared for long term storage will go on for years.

    I'm a former Turbofan Test Engineer for Lockheed and Rolls-Royce at Stennis Space Center from 2004-2012, and had a Trent 1000 engine delivered on a AN-124. My team had to escort the jet from Derby, England to Stennis Space Center, which means we flew on it. When we arrived at the Stennis airport, we had to unload the jet so we could test it at our faculty. I took several videos and photos of it and look back at the time often.

    Canada should return that plane to Russians and even pay owner company damage for keeping their plane in Canada for no reason.
    Same way Russia could capture and keep AirCanada planes for no apparent reason.
