“We are aware that Aeroflot flight 111 violated the prohibition put in place earlier today on Russian flights using Canadian airspace,” Transport Canada says.
“We are launching a review,” the official government Twitter account says. “We will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action and other measures to prevent future violations.”
Aeroflot flight 111 goes from Miami, Florida, to Moscow, passing over Canada’s eastern coast on the way.
Aeroflot is Russia’s flag-carrier airline and the country’s largest.
Europe and Canada closed their airspace to Aeroflot on Sunday. The airline said it was halting flights to Europe.
