Analysts named the reason for the sudden lobby in the EU and the USA.
Information has appeared on the Web that a number of American airlines are in favor of lifting sanctions prohibiting the passage of civil aviation through the airspace of the Russian Federation.
According to the Telegram channel MMI, the same opinion is shared by air carriers from Europe. The reason, according to the authors, is the inefficiency of the flyby path.
Thus, according to the FlightRadar24 service, the dynamics of the air passenger market has reached the indicators of 2020.
The head of the International Air Transport Association, William Walsh, said that air carriers need to prepare for the fact that flights through the Russian Federation will resume, otherwise companies from Europe will lose to colleagues from China, who do not need to fly around the territory of the Russian Federation.
With the lifting of sanctions, Europeans will be able to get to Asia in the most efficient way, he explained.
Recall that the airspace of the Russian Federation has led to obvious losses. Thus, German Lufthansa lost to Turkish Airlines in terms of market capitalization of 9.27 billion euros against 9.78 billion euros.
At the same time Rostransnadzor called for an audit for foreign airlines before admission to flights to the Russian Federation.
Similar rules already work in the EU, the USA, China, Israel, the UK and a number of other countries.
