Flight operations have been temporarily suspended at four Moscow airports and the Kaluga Airport southwest of the Moscow region, the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) announced on Thursday.
The representative from Rosaviatsia did not provide a reason for the sudden restrictions. “Aircraft crews, air traffic controllers, and airport services are taking all necessary measures to ensure flight safety,” the agency stated.
Passengers traveling through these airports are advised to stay in contact with their airlines for updates on flight schedules and to remain patient as authorities work to resolve the situation.
The temporary suspension could impact both domestic and international flights, potentially causing delays and inconveniences for travelers. The affected airports are key hubs for air traffic in Russia, making the situation significant for passengers and airline operations.
As the situation develops, further information is expected from Rosaviatsia or other official channels. Travelers are urged to monitor announcements and plan accordingly.
