To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government plans to take in response to the Russian Government's decision to ban UK airlines from operating in Russia and accessing Russian airspace.
Answered on

The UK has imposed a restriction on all Russian aircraft (scheduled and private) from our airspace. Our actions were a legitimate and proportionate response to Russian aggression towards Ukraine and its failure to comply with its wider international obligations. DfT and the Civil Aviation Authority are in close contact with the sector to understand and, where possible, address the practical implications of Russia banning UK carriers from their airspace.
