The UK Government has announced that will be introducing new sanctions against the Russian airline sector. 

State-owned Aeroflot, Russia’s largest airline, and both Ural Airlines and Rossiya Airlines will now be unable to use or sell on their unused and very lucrative landing slots at UK airports. This will effectively prevent Russia from cashing in on an estimated £50 million for the sale of landing slots.
