By Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Canada is closing its airspace to Russian aircraft operators effective immediately, says Transport Minister Omar Alghabra. Alghabra announced the move in a tweet posted Sunday morning. The decision aligns Canadian policy with many European nations who announced similar decisions over the past several days. Russian-owned aircraft are banned from airspace above Germany, the U.K., Italy, the Baltic states and others. Those policies leave much of European airspace closed to Russian planes. Effective immediately, Canada’s airspace is closed to all Russian aircraft operators. We will hold Russia accountable for its unprovoked attacks against Ukraine....Tweeted The Transport Minister.
