HELSINKI: Finland's flag carrier Finnair said on Tuesday it would stop using Belarusian airspace after Belarus scrambled a warplane to intercept a Ryanair aircraft and arrest a dissident journalist.
"This affects very few flights. The last flight [in the airspace] was on Sunday and the next one will be on Wednesday," Finnair's spokeswoman told Reuters.
She added that Finnair made the decision after a recommendation from the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency. (Reporting by Essi Lehto; Editing by Andrew Heavens)
