S7 operates a fleet of A320, A319, A321, A321neo, A320neo, 737-800, 737-800BCF (freighter), 737 MAX 8 and Embraer 170 aircraft, reported Aviacionline.

The suspension is seen as another move to isolate Russia from the global aviation sector following its military invasion of Ukraine.

Many countries, including the US, UK, Canada and some European countries, have already closed their airspace to Russian airline companies.

However, Serbia is among the few European nations that have not imposed any sanctions on Russia. Its flag carrier, Air Serbia, announced last week that it would continue its operations to Russia.

Earlier this month, the European Commission (EC) updated its EU Air Safety List.

It added 21 Russia-certified airlines that do not meet international safety standards. According to the EC, Russia’s re-registration of foreign-owned aircraft created safety concerns, as they are operating without valid certificates of airworthiness.
