Plane is back in the air with 6 less people, the journalist and his girlfriend, and 4 others who may have the KGB agents orchestrating the “bomb threat”

How about throw out Belarus of the international aviation treaties? If they misuse air traffic control to misdirect planes, maybe throw them out of the system.
