UK Government has today announced that it has designated Aeroflot, Rossiya and Ural airlines under the UK’s Russia Sanctions Regime.  This means that ACL cannot allocate slots to any of those carriers for the upcoming IATA Winter 2022 season nor can we grant alleviation for cancellations made by those carriers in the current Summer 2022 season as a result of the current flight bans.  This also prevents any transfer or exchange of any slots held by these carriers.  Slots over which Aeroflot, Rossiya and Ural currently hold historic rights for the Winter 2022 season at UK coordinated airports will be returned to the slot pool for re-allocation to other carriers.   ACL will issue further guidance shortly.
