The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has suspended airworthiness certificates and approvals for many Russian-made aircrafts

TweetThis sanction will severely impact the development of aircraft which haven’t flown commercially yet, like the Irkut MC-21, the turboprop IL-114-300, and the Chinese-Russian jet, CR929. The existing certification for six aircraft types, including the Sukhoi Superjet 100 jets has been suspended.
The AL30 tethered gas balloon, Beriev Be-103 amphibious seaplane, Tupolev TU204-120, Kaman Ka-32A heavy-lift helicopter, Beriev BE-200ES utility amphibious aircraft, and the Irkut Superjet 100 are the aircraft that lost their certification.
In a statement, the CEO of Rostec, an organization with hundreds of enterprises said,
"In the current situation, the absolute priority for the Russian industry is the accelerated implementation of import substitution programs for key products, technologies, and systems."
This will leave Russian aviation more and more isolated, severely affecting the design, development and certification of Russian aircraft.
