00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:04.154
The number of Russian aircraft that enter US airspace is extremely

00:00:04.154 --> 00:00:08.048
small and in terms of Russian flights, commercial flights into the

00:00:08.048 --> 00:00:12.650
US. It's a very, very small number. I haven't got an exact number,

00:00:12.650 --> 00:00:17.606
but you have a couple of flights a week, maybe into Miami into New

00:00:17.606 --> 00:00:22.208
York, Los Angeles. Not very many at all, so this is more symbolic

00:00:22.208 --> 00:00:25.394
than anything else because there's such limited interaction between

00:00:25.394 --> 00:00:28.226
Russian aircraft and US airspace. Nonetheless, the Biden

00:00:28.226 --> 00:00:30.704
administration is sending a very clear signal.

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:34.036
On a very public format that it is in lockstep with

00:00:34.036 --> 00:00:37.292
the EU and the UK and other countries who are saying

00:00:37.292 --> 00:00:39.956
we don't want your aircraft flying in our airspace.
