Volgograd airport operations suspended
Restrictions on the reception and release of aircraft have been introduced at the Volgograd airport, a representative of the Federal Air Transport Agency reported.
As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, on the night of July 27, nine drones were destroyed and intercepted in the Volgograd region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported. The attack led to the delay of train traffic in the region. Restrictions on the reception and departure of aircraft have been introduced at the Volgograd airport. This was done "to ensure flight safety," the press secretary of the Federal Air Transport Agency explained. By 07.35 Moscow time, the restrictions were lifted.
Temporary restrictions on the reception and release of aircraft have been introduced at the Volgograd airport. “The restrictions are necessary to ensure flight safety,” said Artem Korenyako, press secretary of the Federal Air Transport Agency, after midnight today.
Interfax-Yug also reported that the Volgograd airport is temporarily not servicing flights. There have been no reports of restrictions at airports in other regions of southern Russia.
The Caucasian Knot wrote 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, the Grozny airport suspended operations three times. During this time, the military shot down four drones launched from Ukraine in North Ossetia.
On the night of July 25, restrictions were also introduced at the airports of Vladikavkaz, Grozny, Magas, Mineralnye Vody, Nalchik, Stavropol and Sochi on the arrival and departure of aircraft. The restrictions were lifted the same day.
