Sanctions: Ten Russian planes still in Germany

Sanctions: Ten Russian planes still in Germany

Aircraft from Russia and those under Russian control have been subject to a take-off and flight ban in the EU since the end of February. Some machines are therefore permanently parked in Germany.

According to a media report, almost six months after the blocking of EU airspace for aircraft from Russia, there are still ten aircraft owned or controlled by Russia in Germany. This was reported by the editorial network Germany (RND), citing the Federal Ministry of Transport. “Since the machines are subject to a take-off and flight ban due to the EU sanctions regime, they cannot be used by the owner and cannot be taken to another location,” the ministry was quoted as saying.

According to the report, there are three Russian Antonov AN-124 machines on the ground in Leipzig, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 and a Boeing 737 in Cologne and a Boeing 747 in Frankfurt-Hahn. Another four aircraft are therefore in Baden-Baden: a Cessna 750 Citation X, two Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 600 and a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS. In response to the Russian attack on Ukraine, the EU closed its airspace at the end of February.
