(looking on Flight Radar, blockade is gone now)
Just out of curiosity, I checked now (2021-05-27 10:38 UTC) and not one flight over Belarus is an EU airline:
* Aeroflot, MOSCOW to BELGRADE
* Unmarked plane T7-HHH under San Marino registration
* Belavia, Minsk to Belgrade
* Fedex, Hongkong to Liege
* Belavia, Istanbul to Minsk
* Adzerbaijan Airlines, Baku to Moscow (what is this doing over Belarus, the flight path seems very strange - AHY6735)
* Air China, Frankfurt to Beijing
What do you expect EU to do about airlines it doesn't control ?
- V-2 5y agoI don't know if the grandparent commenter is correct, but they quite clearly meant Belarussian flights over EU airspace, not the other way round (EU flights over Belarus, which is what you seem to be referring to).
- Symbiote 5y agoBelavia themselves[1] say flights to Poland, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Finland, Czechia, Latvia, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom, France and Lithuania are cancelled. That leaves Hungary, Cyprus and Estonia. There are news articles for all three saying bans are supported or in progress — different countries have different legal processes for doing this, and it can take a few more days.

- kylehotchkiss 5y agoI was very curious about the Azerbaijan Airlines routing (the countries around there don't get along so their flight paths tend to reflect that - see flights coming/going from Armenia too) https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/AHY6735 https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/AHY6735 Looks like this one was just Baku to Minsk though, no controversy. Their Baku-Moscow route is AHY181
