Russia announced Monday to restrict the flights of airlines from 36 countries in response to the closure of the airspace of many States to Russian planes, after the invasion of Ukraine launched by Moscow.
“In retaliation to European states’ ban on flights of civil aircraft operated by Russian air carriers or registered in Russia, a restriction of flights by air carriers from 36 states has been introduced,” the Russian aviation agency Rosaviatsia said in a statement.
Among the States concerned are all the 27 countries of the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada. The list includes Jersey, which is a dependency of the United Kingdom, and Gibraltar, a British overseas territory.
According to Rosaviatsia, flights by airlines from these countries can still be carried out provided they obtain a “special permit” issued by the Russian authorities.
The European Union announced on Sunday that it was closing its airspace to Russian aircraft, including private jets.
These measures will mean airlines have to make long detours on some routes, potentially raising the cost of tickets.
Well, stuffy Europeans received greetings from the Russian people! We will support Putin, and you will ruin your airlines. Now Chinese and Middle Asian airlines will completely capture the air transportation market. You were and remain fools in your Europe and we do not care about you. Only now you will be poorer fools.
I’m looking at the flight radar24 now and I’m happy – I see how the Chinese planes go through Russia and the fools fly around.
What a sad man you are! typical Russian with no grip on reality and completely delusional,fed lies by your Paranoid Government and your leader who suffers from little man syndrome,the rest of the Democratic World is against you, the only countries that support you are Tyrannical regimes like China, Iran, North Korea congratualtions you are now a full blown pirrah state.
Your airlines will be flying nowhere when you run out of spares for you Airbus and Boeings.
