Aeroflot promises not to repair engines in garages
Aeroflot intends to achieve “strengthening import independence”, however, the safety of passengers is always a priority, so the company will maintain high safety standards in accordance with their recognized parameters. Andrey Semenov, the first deputy general director of the production company, spoke about this.
According to him, Aeroflot intends to improve operational processes at A-Technics (an aircraft maintenance and repair provider, part of the Aeroflot group) and turn it into an organization that would serve not only the group’s aircraft, but also external customers. To do this, the company intends to develop competencies in the field of “strengthening import independence”.
“Despite the geopolitical situation and the associated challenges for the aviation industry, safety always remains our top priority. If, as a result of risk management, we see that some aspects of the activity can lead to a decrease in the level of flight safety, we will look for other solutions. We will definitely not repair engines in garages“, he stressed.
Aeroflot Deputy General Director also noted that at present the main task for the company is the centralization of process management and the consolidation of resources. “In other words, the structure of the TsUP will be revived [Центр управления полетами]. This will allow the departments of the operating unit to set a common task and work together for one result.”, Semyonov said.

Unboxing and live photos of Redmi K70E – the first smartphone on SoC MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra
Yesterday Redmi officially presented the budget sub-flagship Redmi K70E, and today an unboxing of the device appeared on the Internet.
The photo shows a version of the Redmi K70E in Shadow Blue color – this is a shade of blue. How ITHome reviewers compare this color with jade.
The smartphone has a 6.67-inch screen with a very thin frame. Its width at the top and sides is only 1.3-1.35 mm – less than that of the iPhone 15 Pro. But at the bottom there is a larger frame – 2.27 mm.
The delivery set includes a branded case and a power supply that produces 90 W of power.
Let us remind you that Redmi K70E became the first smartphone based on the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra single-chip system. It is more powerful than the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2, and this should guarantee the Redmi K70E first place in the new AnTuTu sub-flagship rating (two models on the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 are currently in the lead).
General Motors said its agreements with striking UAW and Canadian Unifor unions would increase costs by $9.3 billion through 2028. The company also announced a $10 billion share repurchase.
These data were announced after the signing of a new contract with the UAW, ratified earlier in November by a majority of 54.7% of the vote. The contract includes a 25 percent wage increase and future job security for union workers as they transition into electric vehicle production. The additional costs are about $575 per vehicle on top of the contract, which expires in 2028.
On Wednesday, November 29, GM said the six-week UAW strike had impacted its business, with earnings before interest and taxes estimated at $1.1 billion.
“We are finalizing a 2024 budget that fully offsets the additional costs of our new labor agreements, and the long-term plan we are executing includes reducing the capital intensity of the business, developing products even more efficiently and further reducing our fixed and variable costs,” she said. CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. “With this clear path forward and our strong balance sheet, we will return significant capital to shareholders.”
The American automaker plans to immediately repurchase and retire $6.8 billion of its common stock as part of a $10 billion buyback program. The remainder of the buybacks will occur before 2024.
GM also announced a 33 percent increase in its common stock dividend, from 9 cents to 12 cents per quarter. The increase is expected to take effect in early 2024.
