Russia bans British airlines from its airspace in tat-for-tat move

Russia has banned British aircraft from using its airspace, the state civil aviation regulator Rosaviatsiya says.

The ban on all flights to and over Russia also extends to aircraft leased in Britain.

London barred Russia’s Aeroflot airline from flying to Britain on Thursday, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
