Southern Russia flights resume after days of disruption

Flight operations in southern Russia are gradually resuming after recent disruptions. The Russian Transport Ministry confirmed that services are returning to normal as of May 9. Krasnodar International Airport has already processed a number of flights, with more expected by the end of the day. As of 11:00 AM Moscow time, airports in the Rostov zone are operating under an adjusted schedule. Technicians continue working to fully restore all flight operations in the area. Meanwhile, Krasnodar Airport has managed 15 arrivals and 8 departures so far.

Passengers are being urged to verify their flight details before heading to the airport. Updates are available through multiple channels, including electronic display boards, the airport’s official website, and audio announcements inside the terminal. A total of 71 flights are planned for processing at Krasnodar Airport by the end of the day. Flights to and from Rostov-area airports remain active, though some adjustments to timing are still in place.

The situation is improving as authorities and airport staff work to stabilise schedules. Real-time information remains accessible for travellers needing the latest updates. The Transport Ministry expects further progress in restoring full service across the region.
