URUSI: Kampuni ya kutengeneza Ndege ya Marekani ya Boeing (BA.N) imesema inasitisha usambazaji wa Vifaa, matengenezo na usaidizi wa kiufundi kwa Mashirika ya Ndege ya Urusi ikiwa ni sehemu ya vikwazo vilivyowekwa kutokana na uvamizi wa Urusi dhidi ya Ukraine.
Marekani imesema itafuata Uamuzi wa Umoja wa Ulaya na Canada katika kupiga marufuku Safari za Ndege za Urusi katika Anga lake, hatua ambayo huenda ikazua kisasi cha Urusi.

March 2 (Reuters) -
U.S. airplane manufacturer Boeing (BA.N) said it was suspending parts, maintenance and technical support for Russian airlines as the effect of sanctions in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine ripple across the global aviation industry.
The United States said it would follow the European Union and Canada in banning Russian flights from its airspace, in a move likely to trigger Russian retaliation.
Boeing's announcement late on Tuesday came as aircraft and engine manufacturers, lessors and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers with Russian clients face various EU and U.S. bans, including on leasing planes, exporting new aircraft and providing parts.
There are also potential payment difficulties after some Russian banks were barred from the SWIFT international payments system.
The new sanctions isolate Russia's aviation sector in a similar way to Iran and North Korea but will have much larger consequences given the bigger size of the Russian market and its high dependence on Western suppliers in recent years.
Russia accounted for around 6% of global air traffic capacity in 2021, according to aviation consulting firm IBA, up from around 4% in 2019 due to the strong relative performance of its domestic market during the pandemic.
Domestic capacity last year was above pre-pandemic levels and Russian carriers were seen as more reliable performers on jet lease agreements at a time when many Southeast Asian airlines halted payments or returned planes due to financial troubles.
About 515 Russian jets with an estimated market value of about $10 billion are rented from foreign firms, according to analytics firm Cirium.
