Hours
after the closure of Canadian airspace to Russian aircraft, an Aeroflot Airbus
A350 ignores the prohibition
By
Hours after Canada closed its airspace
for Russian-owned, chartered or operated aircraft in Canadian airspace,
including in the airspace above Canada’s territorial waters, an Aeroflot Airbus
A350-900 (registered VQ-BFY) and operating flight SU111 ignored the
prohibition.
The Airbus A350-900 was operating a flight between
Miami, United States and Moscow Sheremetyevo, Russia. “We are aware that Aeroflot flight
111 violated the prohibition put in place earlier today on Russian flights
using Canadian airspace,” Transport Canada said, “We
are launching a review of the conduct of Aeroflot and the independent air
navigation service provider, NAVCAN, leading up to this violation. We will not
hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action and other measures to prevent
future violations.”
