Такие известные компании, как KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, SAS (Швейцария), LOT (Польша), Wizz Air, Air Baltic, Singapore Airlines, тоже отказались от полетов над Беларусью. В этом контексте лидеры ЕС на встрече в Брюсселе решили в понедельник вечером закрыть воздушное пространство Евросоюза для самолетов из Беларуси в качестве санкции против режима президента Александра Лукашенко, обвиняемого в заказе угона авиалайнера Ryanair, выполняющего рейс Афины-Вильнюс, для ареста журналиста Романа Протасевича. Так, по данным flightradar24, выглядит сейчас воздушное пространство Беларуси

После инцидента с самолетом авиакомпании Ryanair в Минске некоторые страны начали приостанавливать авиасообщение с Республикой Беларусь либо рекомендовать авиакомпаниям не входить в воздушное пространство республики.

На борту самолета находился и основатель оппозиционного телеграмм-канала NEXTA Роман Протасевич. Против него в Беларуси возбуждено уголовное дело по трем статьям.
