Operations have been temporarily suspended at four major Moscow airports and the Kaluga Airport southwest of the Moscow region, according to a statement released on Thursday by the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia).
The agency did not disclose the reason for the sudden restrictions. However, it assured that “aircraft crews, air traffic controllers, and airport services are taking all necessary measures to ensure flight safety.”
The airports affected include some of Russia’s busiest hubs, and the suspension is expected to impact both domestic and international flights. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest information on flight schedules and possible disruptions.
The temporary suspension comes amid heightened attention to aviation safety in the region. While no official reason has been provided, industry experts suggest that such measures are typically taken in response to unforeseen circumstances that could affect air travel safety.
This development has significant implications for travelers and businesses relying on air transport in and out of Moscow. The suspension underscores the importance of real-time communication between aviation authorities and the public to mitigate inconvenience and maintain safety standards.
Rosaviatsia has pledged to provide updates as the situation evolves. Stakeholders are urged to remain patient and stay informed through official channels.
