Russia's Ural Airlines said it will launch what it described as a first-of-its-kind domestic program to extend the service life of Airbus A320 family aircraft beyond 96,000 flight hours, as the country’s
aviation sector grapples with Western sanctions and a shortage of spare parts.

This is awesome. Other companies in the same predicament may soon receive some international phone calls with the guy on the other line saying "Hello Tovarish, we're calling about your extended Airplane warranty. Interested?" ...

How about getting it insured ?

There's no way these airframes are going to be allowed to operate outside of Russia and some of its satellite states....
