Press pictures show the aircraft to be SP-RSM of Polish carrier Ryanair Sun. Certain presidents laughing their heads off.

In response to international condemnation of an incident in Belarus,
the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)
has suspended the operating permit of Belarus’s national carrier, Belavia.
In addition, the CAA is requesting all UK airlines to avoid using Belarus airspace as a safety precaution.
It could potentially impact the two main cargo airlines,
TransAVIAexport Airlines and Rubystar,
had they been planning to fly UK missions in the near future.

suspend all international flights over Belarusian airspace.

And today the Belarus minister of transport claimed Hamas was responsible for the bomb threat, to force Israel to a cease fire in Gaza. Guess the news in Belarus is a couple days later than elsewhere...

...we shall see whether KLM will comply with that request. It is not legally binding, as yet....Premier Mark Rutte roept KLM op niet meer over Wit-Rusland te vliegen,
na de gedwongen landing van een RyanAir-vlucht en de arrestatie van een oppositieleider die aan boord was van dat toestel.
