   China is closing its airspace to Russian Boeing and Airbus aircraft. This was   
   reported by the Russian news agency RBK. The legal status of the aircraft has   
   become very uncertain due to Western sanctions against Russia.   
       
   Many of the planes were owned by Western leasing companies. They withdrew from   
   Russia, but Moscow refused to surrender the aircraft. It registered them in   
   their own country. This shift means that Russia can no longer present the   
   correct papers to the Chinese authorities.   
       
   Due to the sanctions, Russia also no longer receives parts to maintain the   
   aircraft.
