Temporary restrictions on the reception and dispatch of aircraft were introduced at Krasnodar's Pashkovsky airport, according to Rosaviatsia, the federal air transport agency. Interfax reported that the airport suspended flight servicing and said Rosaviatsia announced the measure on its channel in Max. RIA Novosti and TASS each carried short alerts that restrictions had been introduced at the airport. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The measure was imposed for a second time the same day, in the evening, when the airport again suspended the reception and dispatch of aircraft, Interfax reported, citing Rosaviatsia. RIA Novosti issued a further alert on the evening restrictions. Interfax also reported that restrictions on the reception and dispatch of aircraft had earlier been introduced at Gelendzhik airport. The documents do not state the reason for the restrictions or when they will be lifted. [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]
Why it matters
Krasnodar's Pashkovsky airport serves southern Russia, and a second suspension within one day affects departing and arriving passengers on those routes. The documents do not explain the cause of the restrictions, so the wider significance cannot be established from them. Rosaviatsia's announcements, carried by state and business outlets, indicate an operational measure rather than a reported incident.
