Volgograd Airport has resumed operations.

At Volgograd Airport, restrictions on the arrival and departure of flights imposed for flight safety reasons have been lifted.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," late in the evening of September 27, restrictions on the arrival and departure of aircraft were imposed at Volgograd Airport. Rosaviatsiya Press Secretary Artem Korenyako explained this as necessary to ensure flight safety.

Restrictions "on the arrival and departure of aircraft" at Volgograd Airport have been lifted, Artem Korenyako announced today on his Telegram channel. "The restrictions were introduced to ensure flight safety," he wrote at 2:40 a.m. Moscow time.

As a reminder, on the night of September 26, Volgograd Airport also temporarily suspended flights due to a safety threat.

Discussions about renaming Volgograd Airport to "Stalingrad" had been active since the 1990s. However, the airport was renamed from "Gumrak" to "Stalingrad" only after Putin intervened—on April 29, 2025, he declared his support for the initiative of the veterans and participants of the Second World War, signing a decree on the renaming that same day. At the same time, some citizens spoke out sharply against the renaming, recalling that under Stalin, 250,000 Stalingrad residents were repressed. At a meeting with the leaders of the Duma factions on September 18, Putin promised to consider the proposal of the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Zyuganov, to rename Volgograd to Stalingrad; social media users expressed dissatisfaction with the new discussion of this topic.
