Russia has retaliated against a ban on European carriers entering Belarus airspace by stopping some European airlines flying to Moscow.
Many European carriers including Air France and Austrian had requested new routes to Moscow that bypass Belarus. 
The move follows the so-called 'hijacking' of a Ryanair plane flying between Greece and Lithuania and the arrest of two passengers by Belarusian authorities.
