Some of the airlines banned from entering Russia include those from the UK and Germany.
Russia’s civil aviation authority said it had imposed the restrictions “in retaliation for European countries’ bans on flights operated by Russian airlines or registered in Russia.”
Moscow insists banned airlines can only enter Russian airspace with special permits.
Quoted AFPLast week, Russia banned British airlines after London banned Aeroflot, the country’s main carrier.
Following Britain, the European Union announced that it was closing its airspace to Russian aircraft, including private jets.
