Russian airports have massively suspended operations: strict restrictions introduced overnight on June 29
Between the night of June 28 and 29, several Russian airports were forced to halt or significantly curtail their activities. According to information from Russian state media, which are referenced by Rossaviatsiya, the situation affected a number of key transportation hubs across the country, leading to widespread social and logistical consequences. Reports indicate that during this period, the airports in Volgograd, Penza, Saransk, Saratov, and Yelitsa were shut down or subjected to temporary restrictions. The details regarding the reasons for this sudden suspension of operations remain unofficial for now, but it is not excluded that they are related to internal security measures or planned safety system tests, which are common in such cases. This series of actions has caused substantial disruptions in domestic and international flights, especially in the southern and central regions of Russia. Passengers are left in inconvenient situations, waiting for aviation services to resume, while airlines are operating on a limited schedule. Experts note that these temporary measures are part of broader processes of control and security within the Russian aviation sector. However, their impact is felt not only by travelers but also by various economic sectors connected with logistics and cargo supply. It is expected that Russian aviation authorities will provide additional information in the coming hours regarding the possible timeline for resumption of work in the restricted zones. Meanwhile, passengers are advised to follow official updates and be prepared for changes in airport operations and potential delays in their plans.
