Ukraine Urges ICAO to Ban Flights Over Russian Airspace Citing Safety Risk

Ukraine has formally asked ICAO to recommend member states ban civilian flights over Russian airspace, following a notification that increased military activity makes it unsafe. The request, contained in a letter to ICAO, warns of risks from drones and missiles. This escalates pressure on international aviation regulators and could lead to broader airspace restrictions, impacting overflight routes and airlines.
