Restrictions on flights over Ukraine will remain until 2029, - Eurocontrol
In its forecast until 2029, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) predicts that restrictions on flights in the airspace of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Moldova will remain in place.
As reported by Censor.NET with reference to European Pravda, this is stated in the forecast of the organization.
It is noted that the aviation industry continues to recover after the coronavirus pandemic, but the key factors that slow down this process are the Russian invasion of Ukraine, restrictions on domestic flights for environmental reasons, lack of personnel at airports, and related strikes.
"Restrictions in Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, and Moldovan airspace will remain in effect until the end of the forecast horizon (2029)," the document says.
Elsewhere in the document, it is clarified that it is about returning to the usual routes of planes.
Among the key factors of how the Russian invasion of Ukraine affects civil aviation, Eurocontrol cites the general deterioration of the economic situation, in particular, the lowering of GDP growth forecasts due to disruptions in energy supply chains, high inflation, and a drop in the general level of confidence.

As you know, Ukraine completely closed its airspace for civilian aircraft on February 24. Soon the EU countries and the USA closed their skies to Russian planes. Russia later retaliated.
