Finland to shut down airspace to Russian planes | Malay Mail

HELSINKI, Feb 27 — Finland is preparing to close its airspace to Russian air traffic, according to Minister of Transport and Communications Timo Harakka, the latest European country to take the step in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Several other European countries, including Lithuania and Latvia, have also said they were closing their airspace to Russian airliners, while Germany said it was preparing to do so. — Reuters
