The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced the issuance of an air directive (NOTAM), for the prohibition of flights of Russian aircraft in the National Airspace of Greece.
The aviation directive for the prohibition of the use of the National Airspace of Greece by Russian air carriers is applied after the decision of the European Union to close its airspace for the Russian Federation.
The aviation directive excludes flights of humanitarian interest, hospital flights, and flights for search and rescue purposes with the approval of the Greek government as well as all emergency flights.
