Ten Russian planes stuck in Germany due to sanctions

Almost six months after the closure of the EU airspace for Russian airplanes, ten aircraft owned or controlled by Russia are still in Germany, the German Ministry of Transport said, reported from DW.

"Since the planes are subject to a take-off and flight ban due to the EU sanctions regime, they cannot be used by the owner and cannot be taken to another location," the ministry was quoted as saying.

According to the report, there are three Russian Antonov AN-124 machines on the ground in Leipzig, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300, a Boeing 737 in Cologne, and a Boeing 747 in Frankfurt-Hahn. Another four aircraft are in Baden-Baden: a Cessna 750 Citation X, two Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 600, and a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS.

The EU closed its airspace for Russian airplanes in late February in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine.
