Flights Temporarily Suspended at Moscow Airports Amid Safety Measures
Operations at four major Moscow airports and the Kaluga Airport southwest of the Moscow region have been temporarily halted, according to a statement released Thursday by the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia). The agency did not provide a specific reason for the sudden restrictions.
“Aircraft crews, air traffic controllers, and airport services are taking all necessary measures to ensure flight safety,” the Rosaviatsia representative said.
The suspension has affected numerous flights in and out of Russia’s capital, prompting travelers to seek alternative arrangements. Airlines and airport authorities are advising passengers to stay updated through official channels and to check the status of their flights before heading to the airport.
The unexpected halt comes amid various global concerns, but no further details have been disclosed. Passengers and airline operators are awaiting more information as the situation unfolds.
