Please be kind to airline employees. They want you to get to your destination just like you do. Most don’t set the rules. They follow and enforce. Be kind.

UKRAINE AID • @AirCanada #AC7312 is heading to Warsaw from Toronto with critical medical supplies much needed by Ukrainians. @AustinCTV and I spent this evening on the cargo ramp at @TorontoPearson as the aircraft was loaded.

@txwikinger_ea Too early to tell where things failed. Exemption could be inferred if ATC granted #AF111 permission to continue through Canadian airspace. Investigation will determine what happened.
WSJ’s aviation reporter Aly Sider reports that allowing Aeroflot SU111 to fly over Canada was a mistake made by NAV CANADA and it should not have been allowed.

Many factors are considered in flight bans & they can include (but not limited to) safety, possible threats, diplomatic or political. Since these bans went into effect today they’re likely being allowed to return home. You need to consider civilian factors as well.

A Russian registered Antonov AN124 - Volga Dnepr #VI5854 RA-82078 - arrived in Toronto from Anchorage early this morning. Sources tell me it will not be departing anytime soon due to Canadian airspace restrictions prohibiting Russian aircraft. An exemption needs to be requested.

Ukrainian President Zelensky states in his speech, “Yesterday, unfortunately, we lost our Mriya.” He also says they will build a new one. Mriya is the name of their Antonov An225.

This story is steeped in rumours from the outset. Although it’s unfortunate fate looks probable, the Antonov Company has not made an official statement one way or another.

Yes. Waiting for definitive proof of its fate.

Effective immediately, Canada’s airspace is closed to all Russian aircraft operators. We will hold Russia accountable for its unprovoked attacks against Ukraine.
I’m a photographer and I took this photo 😃 It’s been a while since I had the camera out at the airport. Nice to see a jumbo get a spritz prior to its departure from Toronto. Heading to Anchorage. #K4978 N716CK Kalitta Air Boeing 747-400F
