Russian airlines blocked from selling UK airport slots

The UK government has blocked Russian airlines from selling off their landing slots at UK airports. It says the lucrative slots are worth up to £50 million.

This extra layer of sanctions impacts Aeroflot, Ural Airlines and Rossiya Airlines. Previous sanctions have banned Russian airlines from UK airspace and the export of aviation goods including aircraft parts.

The landing slots are going unused because of the airspace ban.
