[LENTA] The European Commission (EC) demanded that Russia stop charging foreign companies for flights over Siberia. It is reported by Reuters with reference to the statement of the head of the Directorate General for Transport of the European Commission, Henrik Hololei.“If one day we have the opportunity to see the opening of Russian airspace, one thing should disappear - Trans-Siberian royalties (flight payments from international airlines - approx. Lenta.ru),” he said.
Earlier, aviation expert Roman Gusarov said that due to the retaliatory sanctions of the Federal Air Transport Agency, which restricted flights in Russian airspace for airlines from 36 countries, Finland suffered the most. He recalled that due to the ban on flights over Russian territory, a large number of European companies have to fly around Russia. This applies not only to the transportation of passengers, but also goods and cargo. A vivid example of countries that cannot fly at all, Gusarov called Finland: it is located in such a way that it has Russia on all sides.
