A major embarrassment for Russia involves the grounding of the Ilyushin IL-96-300 for a number of incidents that affect flight safety. This is the President's plane and seven are operated by Aeroflot. They are now using Airbus and Boeing planes to fill the gap.

I also thought wrongly in thinking the plane crashed or something. Bad thread title.

Yet another sensationalised thread title - grounded is hardly 'down'.

agreed..a weak way to attract readers.

I agree...one shouldn't resort to sensationalizing the title of their thread just to increase its chances of being noticed.

I agree with all of the above - I also thought that it was referring to a crash.

I've edited the thread title.

Thankyou Mr. Grey. Down for maintenance would have been a more apt title :o
