being impoundedAeroflot, Russia's flagship airline, has announced it is suspending international flights, except those to Belarus.
There is a high risk of foreign-leased planes being impounded due to sanctions imposed on Russia.
In a statement posted on its website on Saturday, Aeroflot said there would be a temporary suspension of all international flights from March 8, "due to the occurrence of additional circumstances that impede the operation of flights."
The suspension doesn't apply to foreign airlines from countries that have not imposed sanctions on Russia and haven't shut down their airspace.
