Russia and Belarus make money from the planes flying over their airspace. They won't be collecting that money so there is at least one consequence.

Clarification: not just these 2 countries. I wonder if all countries do it.

Most of them do, but most will also waive it for flights originating or departing from said country.
Some countries go above and beyond; Russia typically grants overflight access to one airline per country, so SAS has the ability to fly over Russia while Norwegian Air never has.

Probably correct but not sure Russia’s rule applies here? SAS is Swedish/Danish and Norwegian is, well, Norwegian.

Wikipedia[1] says: Scandinavian Airlines, usually known as SAS, is the flag carrier of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
