Russian airline Aeroflot <\/strong>on Sunday violated a ban on aircraft from the country using Canadian airspace, regulator Transport Canada said, on the same day the restriction was imposed in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are aware that Aeroflot Flight 111 violated the prohibition put in place earlier today on Russian flights using Canadian airspace,” Transport Canada said in a tweet late on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight 111 travels from Miami, Florida to Moscow and took off at 15:12 ET, according to FlightRadar24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no direct flights between Russia and Canada, but several Russian flights a day have until now passed through Canadian airspace to other countries, a spokesperson for Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transport Canada said it will launch a review into the conduct of Aeroflot and Canada’s air-traffic control service provider Nav Canada following the violation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action and other measures to prevent future violations”, the Canadian regulator said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nav Canada confirmed to Reuters<\/a> that Aeroflot did enter the Canadian airspace. It said the aircraft operator declared the flight as a humanitarian flight as it entered the domestic airspace which requires special handling by air traffic control under normal circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are currently cooperating with Transport Canada to investigate the occurrence, and are working with neighbouring Air Navigation Service Providers to support rerouting of aircraft prior to them entering Canadian-controlled airspace,” Nav Canada said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister Alghabra announced at 0900 ET on Sunday that Canada would close its airspace to Russian aircraft operators following similar measures from other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
