Russia has not given Austrian Airlines permission to enter its airspace on its flight today from Vienna to Moscow on an alternative route that does not pass through Belarusian airspace.
Tass reports it.
A similar case happened to Air France, which both yesterday and today canceled its flight from Paris to Moscow, apparently for the same reason.
At the moment, the Russian authorities have not commented on the affair or given official indications of any bans. By consulting the arrivals at the main Moscow airports, and by cross-referencing the data provided by FlightRadar, one can see how yesterday's Czech Airlines flight from Prague to Moscow regularly landed in the Russian capital, while bypassing Belarusian airspace. Also yesterday another flight of a foreign company, the KLM, flew from Amsterdam to Moscow without problems, but the route did not include the overflight of Belarus, since the most convenient trajectory seems to pass through the Baltic. It is therefore not clear whether that of Moscow is a 'selective strategy' or, rather, two isolated cases.
