This weekend, the Russian aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, recommended that all Russian airlines suspend international flights in a bid to reduce the risk of leased aircraft being retained abroad and Russian civilians being unable to return home. Aeroflot announced that it was suspended all foreign flights from March 8. “Aeroflot informs about a temporary suspension of all international flights starting 8 March (00:00 MSK) due to new additional circumstances impeding the operation of flights. International services scheduled by Rossiya Airlines and Aurora Airlines (flights within the range of SU5400-5799 and SU5950-6999) will also be suspended,” Aeroflot confirmed in a statement.
