Aeroflot to halt international flights
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Aeroflot, Russia’s flagship carrier, has announced that it will halt all international flights except to Belarus starting March 8.

The move by Russia’s biggest state-owned airline comes after the country’s aviation agency, Rosaviatsiya, recommended that all Russian airlines with foreign-leased planes halt both passenger and cargo flights abroad.

It cited a high risk of foreign-leased planes being impounded as part of Western sanctions that ban leasing of planes to Russia.

Rosaviatsiya’s recommendation doesn’t apply to Russian airlines that use Russian planes or foreign planes that aren’t at risk of being impounded.

It also doesn’t apply to foreign airlines from countries that have not imposed sanctions on Russia and have not shut down their airspace for Russian planes. Aeroflot’s statement Saturday cited “circumstances that hinder operating flights” as a reason for its move.

1. So Aeroflot...

...becomes GroundAlot.

If they can't pay the lease, it doesn't matter if they ground the planes. Eventually they will be confiscated. Otherwise it is theft.

Here's an idea, maybe you should stop killing innocent people and cease being a pariah state that threatens nuclear annihilation for everyone on earth.

Why don't you give that a try?
