Restrictions imposed at Volgograd Airport for security reasons have been lifted.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," restrictions on operations at Volgograd Airport were imposed tonight for security reasons.

On October 15, Telegram users noted that nighttime flight restrictions over Volgograd are being introduced as a "tradition" and practically "on schedule." Drone threat alerts in the Volgograd region have become daily, but they can't always be relied upon. The actual appearance of UAVs over the region is not always preceded by a warning, local residents interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" stated.

Restrictions on the arrival and departure of aircraft at Volgograd Airport were lifted around 3:00 AM Moscow time, Rosaviatsiya spokesman Artem Korenyako reported on his Telegram channel.

He did not specify how long any flights had been delayed, but according to the airport's online flight board as of 4:00 AM, a flight to Sochi and an arrival from Kaliningrad were delayed.

The airport's restrictions were apparently related to the drone threat declaration in the region. According to Vysota 102, alerts about this began arriving on Volgograd residents' phones around 11:30 PM Moscow time. Discussions about renaming Volgograd Airport to "Stalingrad" had been active since the 1990s. However, the airport was only renamed from "Gumrak" to "Stalingrad" after Putin's intervention on April 29, 2025, when he announced 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.
