The State Aviation Service of Ukraine due to the tense situation in the east of the country, the inability to ensure the safety of passengers, as well as full controls over all technological processes, has revoked the certificates of operators from three airports: from June 3 - Donetsk, from June 11 - Luhansk, and June 19 - Mariupol.

The authority told Interfax-Ukraine that by that time these airports were closed by a relevant NOTAM (Notice to Airmen).

At the same time, the airspace above Donbas is open. The service said
that UkSATSE fully ensures the safety of air traffic over the
territory. There are restrictions on movement of aircraft in the border
area of 100 km – flights at altitudes below 7,900 meters are banned.
