Reuters: Boeing stops buying aluminum from Russia in March 2022

Boeing Co stopped buying aluminium from Russia in March 2022.

The company had said in March 2022 that it had suspended buying titanium from Russia, another metal prized in aerospace for its strength relative to its weight and its compatibility with the latest generation of carbon-fibre, long-distance passenger jets, Reuters reports referring to a representative of the company.

Russia's Rusal is the world's largest aluminium producer outside China. It supplies the world with six per cent of its primary aluminium needs, estimated by analysts at around 70 million tonnes this year.
