With the new Iron Curtain 2.0 established around Russia and the whole restrictions on airspace, we are going to see a lot of increases in travel times especially for trans-pacific flights, freight, across the board increases in costs and travel times for those since no one can cross Russian airspace now and will need to fly around Russia. Wendover has a very interesting summary video on some of the more immediate impacts. An interesting thing I didn't realize was how much Russia's domestic airline fleet was going to be impacted, how there won't be any cross booking with Russian airlines now, how Russian carriers had half their fleet leased, and how Putin just authorized the huge theft of foreign property.
