Yes. They are still using the PSS. The Loganair CEO commented on LinkedIn about how it was a
PR stunt by Sabre considering they still allowed this.
S7 had an A320 impounded in Yerevan and suspended all international flights. Now all airlines with leased planes have been ordered to do so.
Aeroflot has been the main target because it is partly state owned and very much gets state support.
