It's concerning to hear about the pressurization issue that caused an Air Côte d'Ivoire Dash-8 to return to Banjul, especially with the Gambia 'Scorpions' soccer team onboard. Safety is always the top priority in such situations, and it's reassuring to know that the passengers and crew were safely deboarded upon arrival.

However, the railway line between Wolfsburg and Dortmund was blocked. So 'Oranje' flew f'rom Hanover to Dortmund with OY-MIT (CRJ-900LR).

An aircraft coming to rescue a train? Usually it's the opposite.

Not only China but also Indian flights are allowed to fly over Russia air space.

If I can...The policy of the BRICS states and accepted by the EU which always highlights competition for the well-being of the consumer and which does not see that there is a distortion of competition

Basically, Russia air space is widely open though the diplomatic relationships between NATO countries and Russia dropped below freezing point and prevent each others' airlines to fly over their air space.

We have to close it!
They will never close it, they make money from the flyovers on the other hand, we gain nothing from this whole system and our airlines are at a disadvantage.

It depends on the point of view. It is no doubt that several Asian and European countries are taking the advantage. However, UN does not rule out Russia air space as a no-fly zone like Libya in 2011. Probably the only solution is to end this war.

Stop this nonsense please. The UN has nothing to do with this.

As part of the sanctions against Russia because of their illegal occupation and bombing of Ukraïne, the European Council has closed EU airspace and access to EU airports for all Russia-registered aircraft. How? See link down below.

As counter-sanction, Russia has closed its airspace for EU carriers. The EU knew this would happen: politicians and diplomats call this "reciprocity".

That's it.

Correct, but the EU should simply suspend all airways leading to Russian airspace.
