Both airlines are part of the Skyteam alliance.
“We have removed our code from Aeroflot-operated services beyond Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport and removed Aeroflot’s code from Delta-operated services from Los Angeles and New York-JFK,” the airline wrote in a statement.
KLM decided to cancel all flights to, from and over Russia. Last Saturday two of its flights were called back to Amsterdam after almost reaching their destination (Moscow and St. Petersburg) in Russia.
KLM cancelling flights to Russia
KLM has decided to cancel all flights to Russia scheduled for departure in the next seven days. KLM will also cease operating flights that pass over Russian territory en route to other destinations in the same period.
This decision was prompted by sanctions agreed upon by EU states, stipulating that no spare aircraft parts may be sent to Russia, even if they are intended for the airline in question. This means KLM can no longer guarantee that flights to Russia or passing over Russian territory can return safely. Alternatives are currently being sought for flights scheduled to pass over Russian territory en route to other destinations.

Delta Airlines will no longer partner with Russian Aeroflot and has discontinued all codeshare and frequent flyer relationships due to the United States’ economic sanctions against the Russian government. Delta does not fly directly to Russia or Ukraine, but the codeshare agreement allowed consumers to book Aeroflot flights there through Delta’s website.
British Airways has also paused its three weekly flights to Moscow. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has prohibited Aeroflot planes from landing in the United Kingdom, and Russia has responded by banning British carriers from landing in Russia.
