LONDON: Britain on Monday banned Belarus flag carrier Belavia and said Russia was likely complicit in the forced landing in Minsk of a civilian jet to detain a dissident journalist.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps also said he had told the Civil Aviation Authority to instruct UK aircraft to avoid Belarusian airspace, in order to keep passengers safe .
Shapps suspended the operating permit of Belavia, which flies daily direct flights from Minsk to London Gatwick, and operates other flights to London Heathrow via Paris in a code-share with Air France. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he had summoned the Belarusian ambassador in London to register anger over the reprehensible incident and flagrant breach of international law .
