The targeting of Russia by western countries and companies has infiltrated every corner, and the airline industry has not, unsurprisingly, escaped being targeted. Boeing, the world's largest aerospace giant, recently suspended supplies of aircraft parts, maintenance and technical support to Russian airlines. Now Boeing is thinking again.
بوئنگ نے 7 مارچ کو اعلان کیا کہ وہ روس سے ٹائٹینیم کی خریداری کو معطل کر رہا ہے اور ماسکو اور کیف میں اپنے تکنیکی شعبے بند کر دیے ہیں تاکہ روسی ایئر لائنز کو فوسیلج پارٹس کی ترسیل بند کر دی جائے۔
Boeing signed a strategic partnership in November 2021 with VSMpo-Avisma, the world's largest titanium manufacturer, which supplies large amounts of titanium for Boeing's 777X, 737, 787 and 777 aircraft.
بوئنگ اپنے ٹائٹینیم کا ایک تہائی حصہ روس سے خریدتی ہے۔ اس بار، بوئنگ نے خریداری کی معطلی کا اعلان کیا، کہا جا سکتا ہے کہ بوئنگ کو ایک بڑے ٹائٹینیم خلا کے ساتھ چھوڑ دیا ہے۔ اس سے حیرت ہوتی ہے کہ کیا بوئنگ ٹائٹینیم والا طیارہ تیار کر سکتا ہے۔
In response, Boeing said that the current titanium inventory is still relatively sufficient, the company will continue to import titanium from Japan, The United States and Other countries, there is no need to worry about production problems. Airbus, Boeing's biggest rival, was less adamant.
ایئربس نے کہا ہے کہ اسے اب بھی روس سے ٹائٹینیم درآمد کرنے کی ضرورت ہے، جس پر وہ اپنی ٹائٹینیم کی نصف ضروریات کے لیے انحصار کرتا ہے۔
Analysts believe that Boeing's move, the damage caused to its own far greater than the loss caused by Russia. Russia has the world's largest titanium producer, and if Boeing doesn't buy it, other countries will. The problem for Boeing today is that it buys a third less titanium. It is obvious who has lost more.
It is worth noting that Boeing's current approach is likely to benefit Chinese airlines. Western countries are targeting Russia everywhere, and there will be no relief in the near future. Boeing will follow the western mainstream to act. That gives China an opportunity.
The Chinese made C919 transport aircraft is likely to enter the Russian market, as Boeing's move is no different from pulling out of the Russian market, and China could be the biggest winner.
