Transport Canada’s tweets regarding Aeroflot #SU111 which flew over Canadian airspace earlier today. https://t.co/no0IlFa36z

(1/2) We are aware that Aeroflot flight 111 violated the prohibition put in place earlier today on Russian flights using Canadian airspace.

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.

Aly Sider @alyrose

A spokesperson for Canada's transport ministers says Aeroflot 111 shouldn't have been allowed to pass through its airspace. "This evening, NAV Canada mistakenly permitted a banned aircraft into Canadian airspace. This shouldn’t have happened."

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. https://t.co/W4PEQw8jJo

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.

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 https://t.co/CcsK2aa9Nu
