Vladivostok Airport chaos leaves 500 passengers stranded amid flight delays

Flight delays have been reported at Vladivostok Airport due to late-arriving aircraft, according to the press service of the Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor's Office.

"Departures to Moscow and Irkutsk have been delayed by more than four hours, with over 500 passengers awaiting their flights," the statement reads.

Airlines are complying with Federal Aviation Regulations, providing passengers with required services and ensuring all affected travelers are informed of schedule changes.

The Primorsky Transport Prosecutor's Office is overseeing compliance with passenger rights, though no complaints have been received so far.

Additionally, a Vladivostok–Terny flight scheduled for April 26 was canceled due to adverse weather conditions at the destination airport.
