Emirates is one of the last major airlines to still fly to Moscow and St Petersburg.

Emirates president Sir Tim says the decision to keep flying was not his call, telling BBC its all up to the United Arab Emirates government.

As well as carrying passengers, the airline also transports cargo including humanitarian goods, food and medical supplies.

These are all essential items not on the sanctions list.
