Mar 02, 2022 (newstodate): With the enforcement of EU and western sanctions on Russia and Russia's retaliatory move, air traffic between Europe and Russia is cooling down.
   Today, only three airlines continue Europe-Russia air traffic unabated by the public pressure.
   Air Serbia is reportedly stepping up its services between Belgrade and Moscow and St Petersburg despite its application for EU membership that is probably not helped by the Serb stance.
   Another European carrier maintaining, and even boosting, flights on route to Russia is Belavia that has been   prohibited since June 2021 from operating into the airspace of 21 countries including Lithuania, Great Britain, France, Ukraine, Latvia, Finland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Estonia, Poland, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Moldova, Serbia, Cyprus, as well as to the Russian enclave at Kaliningrad as this would require flying through Lithuanian airspace.
   Surprisingly, the list also comprises Turkish Airlines that despite its NATO membership and ongoing application process for EU membership has also refused to join the EU and western ban on flights to Russia as well as blocking Russian aircraft movements in its airspace.
