The move follows Belarus's grounding of a Ryanair flight to arrest a dissident journalist.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has also issued a directive calling for EU aircraft to avoid Belarusian airspace unless in an emergency.

It is drawing up further measures targeting the regime of Belarus's president Alexander Lukashenko."Banning European aircraft from using Belarusian airspace with a safety directive is also a politicisation of aviation safety," said Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association .
