Four Russian airports have resumed operations after a temporary flight suspension, according to the aviation authority

Russian airports in Kazan, Nizhnekamsk, Izhevsk, and Perm, which temporarily suspended operations on Sunday morning to ensure the safety of civilian flights, have now returned to normal functioning, according to the aviation authority Rosaviatsia.

While the agency did not provide a specific reason for the temporary halt in flight operations, it is noteworthy that Russian airports have previously experienced closures due to concerns over potential Ukrainian drone strikes in the vicinity.

By 11:00 a.m. (0800 GMT), all restrictions at these airports had been lifted, as reported by Rosaviatsia. These four cities are situated to the east of Moscow. Notably, Kazan’s airport had previously suspended flights on December 21 following a Ukrainian drone attack on a residential area and other locations in the city, which fortunately resulted in no injuries.
