RUSSIA FACES A NEAR-TOTAL AIRSPACE PROHIBITION TO THE WEST AS A RESULT OF ITS INVASION OF UKRAINE

  • 27/02/2022

Following an EU official's announcement that most European countries will implement flight bans, Russian airlines face a near-total airspace blockade to the country's west. On Sunday, a formal decision on the measure is likely.

European countries, one by one, announced that their airspace will be closed for three months, including Germany. Due to airspace restrictions over Ukraine, Russian flights have few options for westbound travel.

On Sunday, scores of flights were cancelled at Moscow's Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports, including planes to Paris, Vienna, and Kaliningrad. S7 Airlines, based in Russia, said on Facebook that it will cancel flights to many of its European destinations until at least March 13th.
