The airspace of the Russian Federation near the western borders is extremely saturated, since in addition to routes in the latitudinal direction, there is the densest traffic in the meridional direction to the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean, Asia Minor and Africa.
Experts of the tg-channel “Kremlin washerwoman” gave explanations about the refusal to coordinate the air routes of two foreign airlines bypassing Belarus.
“It is possible to allocate additional corridors for new air routes only after preliminary agreements and changing the routing of all existing flights, which will take a lot of time. Due to the congestion of the air corridors, the possibilities of adding new flights are extremely limited, and it is simply impossible to satisfy everyone who wants to follow this route”, – the channel’s experts noted.
