#1 That would be a very stupid move. While this would indeed hurt airlines like Lufthansa (their flights to China, Thailand, Japan etc.), it would hurt Russia much more. First they lose the fees, second Aeroflot would certainly face retaliation.

#2 Germany terminating Russian visits/immigration and sending back a few hundred thousand already there, would give Medvedev something to think about.

Vladimir and Dimitri go into fancy restaurant.
Waiter: What will you be having today Mr. Putin?

Waiter: And the vegetable?
Putin: He'll have steak too.
