Now we have cold war with Russia for Airspace above Crimea and Black Sea. During last years Uksatse (Ukrainian State Air Traffic Services Enterprise) invested in Simferopol center almost 50 mln euros. Russian State ATM Corporation got everything for free and issued NOTAM that since 04.04 they are going to take control of airspace (now it's controlled from Ukraine's centers in Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk).
Eurocontols reaction of Russian NOTAM:
AIM VALID 28/03/2014-31/03/2014 - RELEASED 23:10:01 28/03/2014
EUROCONTROL IS STRICTLY FOLLOWING ICAO CONVENTION ON
INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION AND WILL NOT RECOGNISE ANY
UNILATERAL DECLARATION OFAIR NAVIGATION SERVICE PROVISION OVER
ANY PART OF UKRAINIAN AIRSPACE OTHER THAN FROM THE UKRAINIAN
AUTHORITY.
A NUMBER OF ROUTES ARE CLOSED WIE-UFN AS WELL AS UKFF
(SIMFEROPOL) AND UKFB (SEVASTOPOL) AIRPORTS.
THE NETWORK MANAGER WILL:
- REJECT ALL FPLS FILED VIA THE CLOSED ROUTES AND ALL FPLS
DEP/DESTUKFF AND UKFB ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING NOTAMS ISSUED BY THE UKRAINIAN AUTHORITIES.
Russia says that they don't give a f*k about Eurocontrol as "it's no longer Ukrainian airspace".
