Russia Retaliates - Closes Air Space to 36 Countries' Airlines

Russia has now gone tit-for-tat with countries that have banned Russian air lines from using air space. Russia has banned the airlines of thirty six (36) nations from using Russian air space. Details come from this report broadcast on the news inside the country of India.

As outlined in the report, twenty percent (20%) of global air cargo is now adversely affected.

Transit times will take longer because of the route changes, and the distance limitations of some cargo aircraft, and prices will go up substantially because all air lines will have to fly such longer routes to avoid Russian air space. Once again, government's knee-jerk reactions are hurting their own people and their own industries. It seems clear that governments are a special kind of stupid in this particular situation.
