🇨🇳 European airlines are losing out to Chinese ones due to the closure of Russian airspace, Politico writes. EU flights are forced to fly longer routes, resulting in extra costs for fuel and crew salaries. European analysts have calculated that flights from airports in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Brussels and Frankfurt to Asia have increased by at least 100 minutes, and tickets have increased in price by an average of $43.47 (about 4.5 thousand rubles). Some routes from Scandinavian capitals take 200 minutes longer, and prices have increased by $90.33 (more than 9 thousand rubles). Russia, we recall, closed its airspace to aircraft from the EU and the US in 2022 in response to similar actions.
