The British authorities have been given the opportunity to detain any Russian aircraft that would enter the airspace of the kingdom, Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps announced on Tuesday evening.
"I have made it a criminal offence for ANY Russian aircraft to enter UK airspace and now HMG [Her Majesty's Government - TASS] can detain these jets," he wrote on Twitter.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority earlier imposed a ban on Aeroflot flights to the UK.
UK airspace is closed to scheduled flights registered in Russia and owned or operated by or chartered by persons associated with Russia.
