Air-bound seafood heading to Asia faces new challenges as Russian airspace closes

Norway flew seafood worth hundreds of millions to Asia last year. A ban from flying over Russian airspace will primarily affect the fresh salmon, trout and live king crab sector.

Finnair, which transports a large amount of seafood from Europe to Asia, is evaluating alternative routes for some of its shipments to Japan, Korea and China due to the closure of Russian airspace.
