Flydubai cancels some flights to Russia until March 8

The Dubai-based carrier flydubai has cancelled flights to Krasnodar and Rostov-on-Don in Russia until March 8, its spokesperson said on Monday.

The Emirati carrier continues to operate flights from Dubai to eight other Russian destinations, including Moscow.

In a separate development, the number of flights through Kazakhstan's airspace tripled to more than 450 on Monday after European bans on flights by Russian airlines, Kazakh air navigation company Kazaeronavigatsiya said.

The company said in a statement it was prepared for an increased workload and would service all flights.
