The New York Liberty were fined $500K by the WNBA for chartering flights in second half of last season, per @howardmegdal

The WNBA features a mix of aggressive and old-school owners.

We have banned passengers with Russian passports from our flights, will ignore all charter requests out of Russia, and have ceased operations in Moscow. Our chairwoman Oleksandra Barksy, a proud Ukrainian, urges other private jet operators to do the same. #StandWithUkraine
