I'm going to go out on a limb and say any passenger would agree that there is an enormous difference between the inconvenience of being rerouted to a different airport and being killed.
As far as international law is concerned, it is illegal to harbor a fugitive. If the commercial airline is sufficiently informed of the fugitive's status ahead of time, they have a legal obligation to comply.
It would be a violation of international law to escort an airliner without a due warning.

No they don’t.
“It would be a violation of international law to escort an airline without a due warning.”
It’s called kidnapping and a whole host of other things. Which is why we have extradition treaties to avoid the things which start wars.

I suggest the Russian Air Force provide cover for the commerical jet. If Bathouse Barry wants to launch World War III to keep the world from learning about his fake birth certificate then let him do it. I don’t think a Russian Bear is afraid for the Rainbow Warriors Little Pony Fight Club.

I don't know what dime store law school you profess to have graduated from but you failed to receive a sufficient education in law. Your assertions are incorrect and you appear foolish in your argument about what sovereign nations can do. I suggest you only speak about what you know about instead of what you think you learned at whatever that law school was you attended.
