Operations Temporarily Suspended at Moscow and Kaluga Airports
In a sudden development, operations at four major Moscow airports and the Kaluga Airport southwest of the Moscow region have been temporarily suspended, according to a representative from the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) on Thursday. The agency did not disclose the reason behind these restrictions.
“Aircraft crews, air traffic controllers, and airport services are taking all necessary measures to ensure flight safety,” Rosaviatsia stated, emphasizing their commitment to passenger security during this period.
The temporary suspension affects significant hubs in Russia’s aviation network, potentially impacting travelers and cargo services. Authorities have not indicated how long the restrictions will remain in place.
Passengers scheduled to fly through these airports are advised to check with their airlines for the latest updates and potential flight rescheduling. The situation is developing, and further information is expected from official channels.
