Volgograd Airport has resumed operations.

Flight arrival and departure restrictions at Volgograd Airport, which were imposed due to flight safety concerns, have been lifted. Three aircraft have been diverted to alternate airfields.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Volgograd Airport suspended operations at 10:47 p.m. Moscow time on January 7 due to flight safety concerns. Two private homes in the region were damaged by drone attacks.

Restrictions on aircraft arrivals and departures at Volgograd Airport have been lifted, Rosaviatsiya Press Secretary Artem Korenyako announced on his Telegram channel at 6:10 a.m. Moscow time.

"The restrictions were introduced to ensure flight safety. During the period of the restrictions, three aircraft diverted to alternate airfields," he wrote.

According to the online flight schedule on Volgograd Airport's website, nine flights to Russian cities and Dubai are delayed by between two and 16 hours, as well as eight flights from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Saratov, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Surgut, and Samara.

As a reminder, if a flight is delayed for more than two hours, passengers are entitled to free drinks and hot meals, with meals provided every four hours during the day and every six hours at night. In the case of lengthy delays, a hotel room may also be provided, lawyer Natalia Kubasova previously stated.

"If a person is denied proper meals and other required services, the passenger has the right to file a claim against the air carrier and then to court. As a rule, judicial practice shows that in such cases, passengers are successful in recovering compensation for moral damages and a fine from the air carrier," she said.
