China bars Boeing and Airbus aircraft of Russian carriers

Chinese authorities have reportedly shut their airspace for Boeing and Airbus aircraft of Russian carriers after they failed to provide sufficient evidence that imported aircraft were deregistered abroad, RBC reported. Citing two sources familiar with the development, the Russian media group said that Chinese aviation authorities asked all airlines to update electronic dossiers, containing data such as aircraft, airline owners and ground handling contracts, earlier this month. Although requesting such information is part of standard procedure, the Chinese authorities reportedly made some changes to it, the source familiar with the matter said.
