Russia has banned British flights from landing at its airports and from crossing its airspace after the United Kingdom closed its airspace to Russian airlines, including Aeroflot.

Prime minister Boris Johnson confirmed that the UK has banned all aircraft on a scheduled service which is, “owned, chartered or operated by a person connected with Russia, or which is registered in Russia” from entering UK airspace on Thursday.
