No. You can't go and seize a random oligarch's assets to compensate the lenders of airplanes, and Aeroflot takes great care to avoid airspace where Western sanctions could hit them - the exception being Turkey, but they won't do anything that endangers their sort-of "neutrality".

You said "assets of the Russian companies." I'd curtail that to assets of the Russian state. Aeroflot is state owned. (It's why Aeroflot settled [1].)
