A flight of the Russian company Aeroflot bound for Brussels Airport has turned around to return to Moscow, from where it had left, according to the Flightradar site. The information was confirmed by the Brussels airport.

The plane had taken off Sunday noon from Moscow but turned back over Finland, probably due to the increasing number of countries closing their airspace to Russian companies.

A measure also taken by Belgium even if it should not be applied before this Sunday evening.

Besides Aeroflot, two Russian cargo companies are also active at Liège Airport (AirBridgeCargo and Atran).
