American air carriers are concerned about a possible ban on flights through Russia.
Today it became known that Russian specialists have allowed American air carriers to operate flights through the airspace of the Russian Federation, having approved three new route directions. Nevertheless, it is important to take into account that the visa has a limited period, in particular, airlines are allowed to operate flights only until October 28, which does not exclude the possibility that in the future, carriers may lose the right to fly through Russian airspace, and this, how known to create a lot of problems.
It is important to take into account the fact that the head of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation has also extended the authorization for cargo flights between Europe and Asia, however, the timelines are much more limited, which causes the airlines a lot of fear.
“Of course, air carriers may reconsider the possibility of flying through other countries, however, all this will provide additional costs, and this, in turn, will lead to additional multimillion-dollar costs”, - says specialist Avia.pro.
Experts believe that the US authorities are ready to make a compromise in order not to get under specific sanctions from Russia, however, at the moment, there are no statements on this matter.
