Maybe he's one of those pesky Russian internet trolls, it might be an idea to double check his account details . . he certainly seems to have been a sleeper

The IATA is Primary for safety.

Just simply put them on the banned from European airspace, this would stop them.

There are several African countries on this list purely down to the fact their maintenance is dire.

They can only enter under Mayday and then when the plane is on the ground it stays there until it is fixed to the standards. Many are quietly rusting are airfields, as they'll cost too much and on top of that there are the parking fees.

The parking fees is interesting, around £500 a time they're missing out on

Send the SAS in, take out Lukashenko, rescue Protasevich then sell the film rights.

Why would we send the SAS to rescue a Belarusian ?

Now, i realise you're joshing... But would that not technically be war for regime change? Isn't that illegal ?

Yes, I was joking.

Murdering someone would surely be illegal whether it was for regime change or not. But if it resulted in a regime change then I suspect Belarus may not push the issue.

They've already denied any involvement in whatever happens . . it wasn't us, we were nowhere near, we've been framed

BREAKING: Russia is reportedly stopping EU flights from entering Russian airspace - IF those airplanes have circumnavigated Belarusian airspace on the way.
Bearing in mind the size of Russian airspace, and the position of Belarus - that's a significant move. Source: Adam Parsons Brussels reporter, Sky News.

So, back to the Soviet days then. It’s inconvenient but entirely possible to route around Russia. I suspect an escalation against them on the same lines will inconvenience them more than us.
