Air India stopped selling tickets for the route Delhi - Moscow for unknown time
Air India прекратила продажу билетов на рейсы Дели - Москва (interfax.ru)
Quite a bit incomplete. These Ukrainian planes haven’t flown for 30 years, so I’m surprised it caught fire.
Perhaps this is related to this:
On April 4, 2022, the Rostec state corporation said that it could, if necessary, transfer any domestic airline to its Russian Leonardo reservation system, developed by RT-Transcom (part of Rostec) in partnership with Sirena-Travel, within a day, if necessary.
Previously, most Russian airlines used foreign air ticket booking systems. For example, the American Saber (used by Aeroflot and Rossiya airlines) and Navitair (Victory), the Spanish Amadeus (serves S7), and the Swiss SITA (works with the regional carrier Yakutia).
Currently, as part of import substitution, customer data protection and the need to store them in Russia, Russian airlines have begun to switch to domestic systems for booking and selling air tickets with servers located in the Russian Federation.
Some airlines have argued that the process of migrating to the new booking system could shut down carriers indefinitely, negatively impacting their business as well as causing problems for customers.
Maybe there are still things used which can catch fire. Any plastic, fabric, wood. Whatever hasn’t been removed because it usually doesn’t catch fire.
Ah, that makes sense. India was known until now as “russian friendly” country, so that step would have been a surprise. Now it’s not any longer.

The complex triangle of relations between India, Russia and China. For modern Russia, India is neutral. For the Soviet Union - a friendly country. China is a hostile country for the Soviet Union. China and India cannot be friendly to Russia at the same time.

Cargologic 747 has been banned for take off from Frankfurt Hahn Airport
I wonder what model this transport plane was.
Russian air defence means in the Odessa area shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane in the air, delivering a large batch of weapons supplied to Ukraine by Western countries.
Without an independent source it’s hard to determine
In Ukraine, information about any losses and the publication of any photo and video materials on this topic are classified.
At the level of rumors, I found that the plane took off from Romania at a low altitude and was shot down after crossing the Ukrainian border.
Due to US and EU sanctions, airlines operating Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft cannot ensure the repair and maintenance of the technical suitability of Russian-French SaM146 engines.
In order to solve the problem, it is proposed that the Russian government transfer all powers to repair engines and ship spare parts for these aircraft to the United Engine Corporation (UEC; part of the Rostec state corporation).

The Federal Air Transport Agency recommended that airlines prepare for flights without the use of the American global navigation satellite system (GPS). This is due to its possible shutdown, as well as “jamming” of GPS signals and spoofing attacks when flying in the Kaliningrad region, over the Black Sea, east of Finland and the Mediterranean.

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise booked a $538 million write-off for planes with airlines in Russia, it said in a statement on Friday. The company also filed insurance claims of $1 billion, and said this figure may rise.

Russian airlines have asked the Bermuda aviation authorities to deregister aircraft that have since been re-registered in Russia, the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation said.
“Russian aviation companies sent Bermuda’s aviation authority a notice regarding the necessity of deregistering the aircraft. In order to avoid breaking Article 18 of Chicago convention by the Bermuda’s aviation authority, said authority has to remove the aircraft, that were registered and are being used in the Russian Federation, from its aviation registry,” a statement by the Russian Ministry of Transport reads.
In April and May, S7 airline and AirBridgeCargo (part of Volga-Dnepr Group of Companies) applied to the Ministry of Transport for permission to return their aircraft to lessors. The airline has not yet received a response.
The press service of S7 Airlines confirmed this information to Kommersant, specifying that they had submitted an application for the return of two Boeing 737-8 MAX to the lessor “due to the lack of a type certificate in the Russian Federation and, accordingly, the impossibility of its operation.”
