American airlines urged US authorities to ban foreign competitors from flying over Russia

The US authorities, including Congress and the White House, should take care to ban foreign airlines from flying over Russian territory. This position is defended by American airlines, according to The New York Times.

At one time, American airlines lost the opportunity to fly in Russian airspace due to restrictions imposed by the West. As a result, Russian routes were lost for them, thanks to which fuel was saved and the flight time of the aircraft was reduced. American airlines were forced to change logistics, reduce the number of tickets sold and postpone flights to Asian countries.



Naturally, the vacated niche was immediately occupied by competitors of American airlines from third countries. They have no restrictions on flights over Russia, so they can offer faster and cheaper air routes for passengers. American airlines were "offended" and demanded the US administration intervene and protect aviation business of the country from such dangerous competitors as Air India, Emirates and China Eastern Airlines.

In the US aviation business, the annual financial losses of the industry are estimated at no less than $2 billion. And those are very optimistic estimates. Therefore, companies insist on the early intervention of the US administration and the application of the same restrictions to foreign carriers that currently exist for American airlines.

The only question that arises is whether American structures are taking on too much, hoping to prohibit airlines of sovereign states from flying over a third country?

      They do worry. If the routes are taken away, then this is for a long time, but the authorities have forbidden to ban it.

        Well, they won’t ban the Chinese. Although. If, under the threat of non-deliveries of spare parts for Boeings and Airbuses. Therefore, you need to have your own aircraft industry, automotive industry, electronics industry, otherwise the hand of the market can intervene at any moment and try to force them to observe not their own interests, but the interests Washington. That is undisguised dictate.

          Well, why not ban. In China and calculated. They will simply cease to be accepted at Western airports and served if they fly through the Russian Federation. Let's wait for Xi's actions, this concerns them.

            China will ban the acceptance of aircraft from countries that supported the sanctions at airports. As a result, third-country companies will benefit.

            That's right. Introduce a ban on the reception of aircraft flying through the territory of the Russian Federation. although in response, the same China may impose in response a ban on the reception of aircraft flying around the territory of the Russian Federation. But they can’t fly through the territory of the Russian Federation !!! Sorry, but China is not to blame ...

        I wonder if the cause of the conflict (Ukraine) disappears, will the ban on flights be lifted?

          Ukraine is not the cause of the conflict. Ukraine is just a REASON.
          There would be no Ukraine, there would be Moldova or Georgia or something else.
          The very existence of an independent and uncontrolled Russia is inconvenient for the states.
          The war in Ukraine is not about Ukraine at all.

            This is all clear, but at the moment the formal reason for the sanctions is Ukraine. Although the States do not have a habit of repealing laws, even meaningless and outdated ones.

          The reason for the Jackson-Vanik 1974 sanctions was the USSR and the non-departure of Jews. Canceled after 40 belay years, when the USSR was gone for how many years and no one kept the Jews.
          Purely formal reason ....
          Same with Ukraine...

      Americans know how to spoil the soul, how else to harm Russia and the rest of the world!
      The same thing happened with the Nord Streams, but everything was completed smoothly.
      So here, if they impose a ban, and I have no doubt about it, they will create new companies and fly.

      Hechemon in all its glory. if he loses, he sweeps away all the rules and sets his own. Everything is simple. Today in the 21st century we live in the early Middle Ages. There is no international law. There is no democracy or freedom. There is no market. The world lives by the right of the strong. Who is stronger is right.

      And who was the first to close the sky? The Americans are not aware of some kind of rotten syrbor because of the tiny 2 billion. Fly across the North Pole so shorter, you have a parallel world and the earth is flat. And the Americans do not think that this game can be played in two.

      I wonder what it will look like?
      Suppose they banned Air India from flying to the US.
      Will the Indians not mirror this and ban American companies from flying to India and over its territory?

      As a result, if you remember how India is located, it will be practically impossible for Americans to fly across the eastern hemisphere.

        There are no plans to apply such restrictions against India specifically. For India is too important in the confrontation with China. But on the idea of ​​US-Chinese trade wars, this ban fits perfectly (even pull up Europe).

      The Americans, trying to maintain their position, are burying the old world with their own hands. They help us with this.

      By their own sanctions, they cause opposition to them. The economy beyond their control is growing: shadow fleets appear, independent financial systems, companies specially created to work outside the American systems. They penetrate deeper and increase coverage. They will also lead to the emergence of new institutions instead of those controlled by the states: the replacement of the WTO, WHO, IAEA, UN, finally.

      The more they push with sanctions, the faster the systems will break down. Apparently, they talk about it all the time as a multipolar world.

      And that the United States already fully controls the airspace over the entire Russian Federation in order to make such decisions?
      Let them ban everyone from flying all over the world.
