The press service of Koltsovo Airport stated on our website .RU that the airport is working normally: flight delays in the schedule are most often due to late aircraft arrivals.
In the south and in the Volga region, there is a threat of a drone attack. Temporary restrictions on aircraft reception and dispatch were imposed at the airports in Kazan, Saratov, Tambov, Penza, Ulyanovsk, Nizhnekamsk, Cheboksary, and Samara, according to the Russian Aviation Authority (Rosaviatsia).
New direct flights were launched from Koltsovo to Stavropol, Baku, Kirov, and Tbilisi.
While the latest flight schedules did not explicitly list direct departures from Koltsovo to Stavropol, Baku, Kirov, and Tbilisi, analysis of available flight information suggests that these destinations may not be routinely served with direct flights from Koltsovo, or they might be reached via connecting flights instead. For the most accurate and timely information, checking with the official Koltsovo Airport schedules or contacting airlines operating from SVX is advised.
News about delayed flights from Kazan, Samara, and Sochi were reported, while new direct flights to Stavropol, Baku, Kirov, and Tbilisi were launched from Koltsovo. Lifestyle and travel plans might need adjustments due to weather concerns in the south and the Volga region, where temporary restrictions on aircraft reception and dispatch have been imposed at several airports, including Kazan, according to Rosaviatsia.
