HMG has been clear that there would be consequences and a severe cost for any Russian military incursion into Ukraine and, in coordination with our international allies and partners, have developed an unprecedented package of sanctions. These sanctions apply to all persons present in the UK, as well as UK persons wherever they are in the world.

We have made clear to representatives of UK based airlines that people who are sanctioned as a result of the conflict in Ukraine should not utilise those airlines’ services anywhere in the world. We will continue to reiterate this message through our regular engagement with the industry.
