WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - U.S. airlines have voluntarily agreed to avoid airspace near the Russia-Ukraine border, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday.
The agency said it consulted U.S. airlines after learning of the crash of a Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
The FAA said it was monitoring the situation to determine if additional guidance to airlines was warranted.
