North Macedonia banned Russian air carriers from entering its territory, acting in line with other EU member states that have already taken similar steps, according to the government. Urgent humanitarian and summer flights are excluded from this decision.
A day earlier, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovenia, alongside other countries in Europe, closed their airspace for Russian airlines following Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine.
UK, Finland, Denmark, Austria also announced that they will implement a similar ban on Russian airlines, while Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Czech Republic already did.
