Switzerland blocks overflight in context of Ukraine conflict
Traditionally neutral Switzerland decided Friday not to grant any overflight requests from parties in the Ukraine conflict, nor from countries providing them with military support, AFP reported.
The Swiss government said it had met to discuss how to deal with any requests to fly through Swiss airspace in connection with "the Russian aggression on Ukraine".
It decided that "any requests to fly over Swiss territory from the parties in the conflict, and other states aiming to provide military support to the parties in the conflict, notably to deliver war material, will not be granted," it said in a statement.
"This decision does not concern humanitarian or medical flights, including air transport of wounded people."
