Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday that Russia is considering an overflight ban for European and U.S. airlines to the Asia-Pacific region in retaliation for their sanctions targeting Russia's low-cost airline Dobrolet.

A number of retaliatory steps are "on the table," such as a ban on European and American airlines using Russian airspace for transit flights to Southeast Asia or the Asia-Pacific region, Medvedev said at a government session.
