Canada's sanctions only apply to Russian *owned or operated* aircraft.
The Minister of Transportation says this was simply a charter flight carrying Russian nationals.

Canada needs to *immediately* clarify the legal basis for detaining the charter flight.

Russia is demanding answers and not getting them.
