An aviation youtube channel speculated about this posibility a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Lz4gCE4ccRM

In short more than half of all the russian operated airliners are leased from foreign companies. These leases are rummored to have stipulations that in case of a sanction the leased aircraft needs to be returned. It was already speculated that the Russian state won’t be letting that to happen.

This is good for Russia in the short term, but is going to be soo bad for Russia in the long term. Even once the sanctions end, business/capital will fear going into Russia for decades. Everyone in Russia is going to be poorer for the rest of their lives because of what's happening in Ukraine.

These airlines will only be flying east…
