Russia's Aeroflot says unaware of any plans to possibly suspend air traffic with UK

Moscow, Dec 20 (Sputnik) Russia's flagship carrier Aeroflot told Sputnik on Sunday it had no information on possible suspension of air traffic with the United Kingdom in the wake of the discovery of a new, more infectious coronavirus strain there.
Throughout the day, EU countries began unilaterally closing borders with the UK in a bid to prevent the import of the new strain, which is believed to transmit 70-percent faster than the original coronavirus.
"Decisions to suspend or resume the air traffic are in the remit of the government's COVID-19 response center. We have no information about any such decision at this point," Aeroflot spokesman Mikhail Demin said.
