Rusia interzice zborurile de tranzit prin Moscova şi reduce altitudinea maximă permisă pentru avioanele civile

Russia's aviation authority has significantly lowered the maximum altitude for civil aircraft in Moscow's airspace and banned transit flights through the capital. The new altitude limit is set at 4,900 meters, down from 8,550 meters, effective until August 26. These measures, initiated by the Ministry of Defense, aim to enhance flight safety and are expected to be extended to other regions. The restrictions may impact airlines financially due to increased fuel consumption and flight duration. Russian airlines are already facing challenges due to fuel shortages and operational difficulties since the Ukraine conflict began.
