Aeroflot Group has acquired eight freighters to harvest spare parts, moving the aircraft into dismantling operations to bolster component availability for its passenger fleet and reduce maintenance lead times. The move underscores operators' reliance on asset cannibalization to manage parts inventories and preserve aircraft availability.

Briefing
Aeroflot's acquisition of eight freighters creates an immediate source of serviceable components to sustain passenger-fleet airworthiness and availability; securing on‑hand spares can shorten maintenance cycles and avoid AOG risks (dismantling eight freighters).
The move is part of a wider industry pattern of harvesting parts from stored or retired aircraft, increasing demand for teardown and parts-recycling capacity (see recent dismantling projects and new spare-parts outlets).
