- bobthepanda 5y agoMost of them do, but most will also waive it for flights originating or departing from said country. Some countries go above and beyond; Russia typically grants overflight access to one airline per country, so SAS has the ability to fly over Russia while Norwegian Air never has.
- oe 5y agoProbably correct but not sure Russia’s rule applies here? SAS is Swedish/Danish and Norwegian is, well, Norwegian.
