Moscow March 5 2022: Russia’s national airline, Aeroflot, has cancelled nearly all international flights from 8 March, because of what it called “additional circumstances” impeding its operations.
Domestic routes and flights to neighbouring Belarus will continue unchanged, the airline said.
The EU, UK, US and Canada have all banned Russian airlines from their airspace – severely restricting the number of destinations available, and making other routes more difficult.
Russia has reciprocated with airspace bans of its own.
International sanctions have also been directed at Russia’s airline industry, making it difficult for Aeroflot and other Russian airlines to operate normally.
