Russia's largest charter airline, Azur Air, stopped international flights after Rosaviatsia's advice.
After the European states imposed a ban on leasing companies to lease aircraft to Russian-based airline companies due to Russia's Ukraine operation, Russian airline companies are stopping their international flights one by one.
After airline companies such as Pobeda, S7, PegasFly, Nordwind, and Royal Flight, Azur Air has announced that it will stop international flights as of 8 March.
Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) advised Russian airlines to stop international flights on the grounds that the planes could be confiscated.
It has been announced that Azur Air will only bring back international passengers between 6 and 8 March and will not carry passengers abroad. The company plans flights to repatriate passengers in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Turkey, Egypt, Vietnam and Maldives
