Russian airports in collapse, almost 100 flights canceled

Flights are being canceled or delayed at Moscow airports, as well as in Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, and other Russian cities.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to the Baza Telegram channel, nearly 100 flights have been canceled in Moscow and St. Petersburg alone, with several hundred more postponed. Many passengers have spent more than 9 hours at airports.

According to the information, the most difficult situation is observed at Sheremetyevo Airport, where more than 170 flights were delayed and almost 50 canceled. "There is now a crowd: arriving passengers are mixing with those who have not yet left the airport. People have to sit and lie on the floor - there are no free seats even in cafes and business lounges," the publication says.

It is noted that more than 30 flights were canceled at Pulkovo, and about 100 more were postponed. Only a few minutes ago, the airport was reopened after suspending operations due to another drone attack threat. For this reason, one of the planes that still managed to depart from Sheremetyevo to Pulkovo is returning back to Moscow.

According to Baza, there are also delays and cancellations at other Moscow airports, as well as in Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, and other cities.
