Jun 23, 2023 (newstodate): Sanctions or not: (some) western companies still uphold business ethics and legal obligations.
   Airbus is a case in point, having now returned deposits for non-delivered aircraft to Aeroflot.
   Long vacillating between Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, Aeroflot in March 2007 placed an order for 22 Airbus A350 aircraft, of which seven Airbus A350-900 were delivered prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
   By then, Aeroflot had placed deposits for the next batch of four aircraft that were however not delivered.
   At the St. Petersburg Economic Forum Aeroflot director Sergei Aleksandrovsky informed journalists about the recovery of the deposited money.
   -After quite intensive negotiations, an agreement was reached with Airbus on the return of the deposit, and the amount was paid to Aeroflot's account last December, said mr Aleksandrovsky.
