MOSCOW - The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) should notify Ukrainian airlines that they are banned from using Russia's airspace starting from Oct. 25, the Russian Transport Ministry said.
“This measure will mirror the report of the Ukrainian State Aviation Service that on September 28 unilaterally and in violation of respective norms and provisions notified a number of Russian airlines that it introduces a ban for flights between Russia and Ukraine after the start of the winter navigation season on Oct. 25,” the ministry said in a statement.
It was reported earlier that the Ukrainian State Aviation Service notified a number of Russian airlines including Aeroflot, Transaero, as well as Globus (which belongs to S7 Group) and Rossiya (which belongs to Aeroflot Group) received notifications from Kyiv about the ban of flights to Ukraine starting from Oct. 25.
