Volgograd Airport Resumes Operations

Restrictions on the arrival and departure of flights at the Volgograd airport, introduced due to flight safety, have been lifted. According to Rosaviatsia, one plane diverted to an alternate airfield.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, restrictions on the arrival and departure of planes were introduced at the Volgograd airport last night. This was done "to ensure flight safety," explained Rosaviatsia press secretary Artem Korenyako.

The restrictions on the arrival and departure of flights have been lifted at the Volgograd airport, Rosaviatsia press secretary Artem Korenyako reported at 07:35 Moscow time.

"The restrictions were introduced to ensure flight safety. During the period of restrictions, one plane operating a flight to Volgograd "departed" to an alternate airfield," he wrote in his Telegram channel "Rosaviatsia Representative."

Recall that early in the morning of July 26, restrictions on the arrival and departure of flights were also introduced at the airports of Vladikavkaz and Grozny. A few hours later, the restrictions were lifted, but less than an hour later they were reintroduced. The restrictions were soon lifted, but at 11:41 Moscow time they were reintroduced - this time only at the Grozny airport. Thus, Grozny airport suspended operations three times. During this time, the military shot down four drones launched from Ukraine in North Ossetia.

Later, Rosaviatsia allowed Grozny airport to resume flights. However, one plane heading to Chechnya was forced to land at an alternate airfield.

On the night of July 25, Vladikavkaz, Grozny, Magas, Mineralnye Vody, Nalchik, Stavropol and Sochi airports also imposed restrictions on the arrival and departure of aircraft. The restrictions were lifted the same day.
