It looks like a lot of engines are falling due for overhaul in the next two years, and AI's internal facility cannot handle the load.

But why only IL-76?

What is sad is they want this to avoid tendering when the engine goes down. Stupid rules mean that even for last minute urgency - AI has to tender ? ? ?

I think this deal with come with some minimum cost irrespective of usage and then on a per usage basis additional cost. Not sure if that would be lesser than arranging for an aircraft when the engine goes down
