Yakutia Airlines is now in talks with Chinese aircraft leasing companies to replace contracts with Western firms, a spokesperson said. The incident follows the grounding last month of Russia's low-cost carrier Dobrolyot in line with Western sanctions against Moscow over its policy on Ukraine. The airline, a subsidiary of Russian national carrier Aeroflot, said the leasing contract for its Boeing-737-800 aircraft had been annulled, forcing the cancelation of all of its flights from Moscow.
