The United Kingdom has introduced new sanctions against Russia, targeting the country's major airlines, including flag carrier Aeroflot, the UK Foreign Office said, APA reports citing Tele Trader.
"The UK Government has announced today that it is introducing new sanctions against the Russian airline sector.
State-owned Aeroflot, Russia's largest airline, Ural Airlines, and Rossiya Airlines will now be unable to sell their unused, lucrative landing slots at UK airports - preventing Russia from cashing in on an estimated 50 million," the ministry said in a statement.
