President Joe Biden is expected to announce a ban on Russian aircraft from U.S. airspace during his State of the Union address, according to sources familiar with his remarks.
. The measure, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, will follow similar declarations made recently by the European Union and Canada. The Russian government has responded with reciprocal bans to both the EU and Canada.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters earlier this week that any decision on aviation restrictions would have to consider the impact made on U.S. flights chartered over Russia, a popular air corridor to Asia. United, Delta, and American Airlines have all announced they will cease flying their planes through Russian airspace. It is expected that any move made by the U.S. Tuesday night will have a significant impact on global supply chains and aviation networks.
