Just guessing - overflight fees go to the coffers of Mordor, so financing the war. I'm not sure if it's a legal or moral issue, but e.g. our company refuses to do ANY business, that would involve having to pay money to any Mordor state owned entity. (particularly Mordor Railways)

PS - the overflight ban is imposed by Mordor, so not an EU issue.
