Unable to fly through Russian airspace because of the war in Ukraine, U.S. airlines are stepping up a lobbying campaign on Capitol Hill and at the White House to address what they say is a growing problem: They are losing business to foreign competitors who can take passengers between the United States and Asia faster and more cheaply.

Now airlines are pressing the White House and Congress to fix the problem by subjecting foreign carriers from nations not already banned from Russian airspace to the same restrictions applied to U.S. airlines, effectively forcing them to fly the same routes as their American competitors.

big lol

jatuh basikal meme please

This is how airfrance is flying to europe ..bypassing the russian airspace

Kesian

Kecian

Note that AFAIK there is no official ban on US flights over Russia. The airlines themselves voluntarily taken that decision to show 'solidarity with Ukraine.'

Now airlines (mostly from Asia) who declined to follow suit stepped into the vacant market and making big profit due to the self-ban, US airlines butthurt and now lobby White House so that everyone else also cannot not fly over Russia and also suffer like they did.

HAHAHAHA

What happen to there free market motto?

Sendiri boikot, sendiri butthurt.

Bodo orang Barat.

Capitalism only works when it suits them

Tongkat, jangan tak mintak tongkat

What is dumb is that the US airlines are self-banning to show 'solidarity with Ukraine'.

Nobody is stopping them to land in Moscow tomorrow if they so choose.

Tembak dia tembak dia!

why don't the US Airlines unbanned themself to fly over russian airspace?
u handicap youreself and lost money for it , so now u want the government to handicap others airlines so they also suffer like u????

Lol!! How do you "enforce" that?? Those planes aren't even in your airspace.

Btw, the comments in twitter shows how stupid those folks are... They thought entire Russia is at war right now.... I guess they are too stupid to know that Russia starts from west of Poland/Ukraine till Japan... They don't call Russia the largest country in the world for nothing....

geography isn't really one of americunt forte

weird competition

That's why its dumb for businesses to voluntarily withdraw from Russian market just to show 'solidarity with Ukraine'. Being in danger of legally sanctioned is one thing, voluntarily leaving the market is another.

You're just leaving a vacuum for other pipul to fill. While true Russia is not the biggest or most lucrative economy around, they aren't exactly small fry either.

Now China and India expanding their businesses to Russia and enriching themselves in the absence of western competitors.

Note: English translation in the replies

US sovereign politician is a fools

US will force all airlines that fly to US not using Russian air space, if not, can't land

maybe only Air India don't need to follow this rules

lmao

amdk lickers are on their way to defend their master. lol

i posted so many things, they hilang liao lo. they will come back only when the lapdog army has some sort of victory in ukanina

AHDL (american hotdog lover) sounds better tho

Here's an example on how this works:

Now US airlines want to force the indian airline to also follow its longer route,due to 'unfair competition'.

WTF

Membodohkan diri then ajak yang lain untuk sama2 bodo. KEK

Orang lain bila taknak ikut dia jadi bodoh, dia jerit SANCTION SANCTION SANCTION

Go fxxk themselves Americunt.

Map shows how much airlines have to reroute to avoid entering Russian airspace:

Kek

As usual.. Americunt interest first ...

Americunt just have to accept the new normal ...

Ego to stupidity is what the US do best all the time

MAS flying over Russia/Ukraine?

Democrats and their stupidity

*womxn*

/lol

Malaysia is considered one of the friendly countries ..so yes

Singapore is one of the unfriendly countries, so cannot

lmfao

So crazy man, some routes increased distance by 50% already.

This one they really shot self in foot

American airlines should tell all their pilots to take 90% pay cut to offset new additional costs.

lol , they need a tongkat pulak

Factually wrong.
MAS does not fly across Russian/Ukrainian airspace to European destinations. Good decision. Remember what happened to MH17?
SQ voluntarily chooses not to fly across Russian/Ukrainian airspace because of the Ukrainian war.
