Russia Bans 27 Of Its Aircraft From Flying To Egypt

For two years following the country's invasion of neighboring Ukraine, airlines and aircraft from Russia have been rather restricted in where they can fly, due to a raft of sanctions against the nation. Egpyt is one country where such planes have still been able to fly, but Russia has now placed restrictions on certain aircraft.

Two carriers impacted

As reported last week by RusTourismNews, Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency has requested via telegram that Russian flag carrier Aeroflot and its red-liveried subsidiary Rossiya Airlines cease flying 27 jets to Egypt. While this figure may seem arbitrary at first, there is a good reason why the number is so specific.
