Russian airline Aeroflot violated Canada's ban on entering its airspace on Sunday, regulator says
Russia's flagship carrier Aeroflot violated Canada's newly-announced ban on Russian airplanes entering the country's airspace, regulator Transport Canada said on Sunday.
"We are aware that Aeroflot flight 111 violated the prohibition put in place earlier today on Russian flights using Canadian airspace," Transport Canada tweeted.
The flight took off from Miami, Florida, at 3:12 p.m. and landed in Moscow at 9:54 a.m. local time, according to plane-tracking site FlightRadar24.
The regulator said in a second tweet that it was launching an investigation into Aeroflot's conduct and Canada's air-traffic control service provider Nav Canada.
