Looks like civilian planes in ol' Russia are back to their usual jet-setting ways, according to the Ministry of Transport's recent announcement. Key Russian airlines, managing a whopping 96% of passenger flights, have hopped back on the regular schedule for Russia's spring-summer flight plan.
Here's the scoop straight from the horse's mouth: "Main Russian airlines have resumed regular flights in accordance with the spring-summer schedule," the Ministry's press release states.
Aeroflot, one of the major players, has also given the green light for return to their normal flight plans.
Last Friday on the 8th of May, you might have heard that Russian airports went back to business after a brief hiccup due to a drone ruckus. However, this morn, we saw a snag with 51 departures and 43 arrivals delayed at Moscow's airports. Over 14,000 folks will be hangin' out at the airport a bit longer thanks to these delays, as the Ministry of Transport pointed out.
Earlier, it was revealed that Pulkovo Airport stepped up as a backup.
It all started when a bunch of Ukrainian drones go ballistic with attacks on Russia just before Victory Day on the 9th of May. These drones targeted Moscow and the surrounding regions, causing havoc at key airports like Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky. In response, civil aviation authorities had to momentarily ground flights, leading to cancellations and significant delays. This disruption threw a wrench in plans for about 60,000 passengers, according to reports[2][3][5].
The chaos wasn't over as Russia had their air defense systems at the ready for Victory Day and shut down airspace to prevent further drone attacks. The safety measures resulted in delays at initial destinations, causing issues throughout central Russia's flight schedules[2][3]. But, no worries! With a little elbow grease, the situation's back on track!
- The Russian aviation industry, including key airlines managing 96% of passenger flights, has resumed regular operations as confirmed by the Ministry of Transport, with flights resuming in accordance with the spring-summer schedule.
- Aeroflot, one of the major Russian carriers, has also confirmed their return to normal flight plans, aligning with the broader resumption of activities within the industry.
- After a brief shutdown due to a drone incident, Russian airports, such as Pulkovo, have resumed operations, even serving as backups in some situations.
- Delays were observed at Moscow's airports this morning, impacting 51 departures and 43 arrivals, causing over 14,000 passengers to experience extended wait times at the airport.
- Amidst this revival of regular flights in the Russian transportation sector, the finance industry will monitor the progress closely to gauge the recovery of the aviation sector post-disruption.
