Vladivostok, October 29 (Xinhua) – Russian and Japanese airlines are discussing the resumption of air travel, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko announced during an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.

He noted that in this matter, everything depends on the decisions of the Japanese authorities, who coordinate sanctions with the G7 and, in particular, with the United States.

"Work and consultations between the companies are ongoing, but everything depends on the Japanese government's position. We haven't cancelled or banned Japanese companies from flying to Russia; that was Tokyo's decision, not ours. As soon as they're ready, we're fine with it," said A. Rudenko.

Direct flights between Russia and Japan operated for nearly 55 years until Tokyo suspended them in March 2022 amid the SVO in Ukraine. –0–
