Ukraine and associated airspace

[andrasz]

LH718 MUC ICN turned around a little north of Perm and is returning to MUC.
The only other EU registered passenger flights I can see over Russia are five AY planes and AF into NRT, soon to leave Russian airspace.

Odd that U.S. and Canada are still allowing Russian airlines to overfly en route to Caribbean eg AZV787 currently over Quebec en route LED to VRA with happy holidaymakers.

Waiting for their own carriers to get some of their Long Haul routes sorted before closing their airspace to the Russians?

Hasn't that already happened, at least with DL & AA?

They, the EU, Nato Countries, Japan, Australia and other asian countries and other countries worldwide should close Airspace, airports. Closing all ports to Russian and their allies Merchant Ships could be effective.

Time to stand up to the demented school bully.

SEATO? That disappeared a long time ago.

Germany wil close its airspace for russian a/c today at 3 PM local.

[Max Tow]

Anyone know why Biden still won't join in the airspace ban?

[Clipper7]

Iceland closes its airspace to Russian a/c

… and bans Russian citizens from entering the country.

Very soon, Russia is going to have a lot of aircraft sat on the ground with nowhere to go!

[Big Pistons Forever]

Canada has also just announced an airspace ban for Russian aircraft

To be fair, we have all experienced that over the past two years.

Aeroflot 158 is currently overflying Canada

But more interestingly, Aeroflot 124 a SVO-JFK B777 is currently over Norway and its flightplan crosses Canada enroute to JFK.

So Ottawa's claim of "with immediate effect" is about to be tested.

[Beamr]

Ok, so what happens if Aeroflot pushes onwards and declares emergency at around newfoundland? Nearest suitable vectored, AC confiscated and pax...?

Would that include the Ocean, or is that "ICAO protected"?

My bad, typing too fast and thinking too slow. Post edited.

124 (currently beyond radar range) seems to be threading the strait between Iceland and Greenland. If so, I wonder if it has sufficient fuel to stay off the Newfoundland and Nova Scotia coasts and get to JFK via an oceanic course.

FR24 says AFL124 is diverting, not yet confirmed where.
Edit: now says back to SVO.
