Sochi-bound flight remains at backup airport after UAV attack

Sochi Airport is operating normally. The restrictions imposed overnight on the reception and release of aircraft did not seriously affect the operation of the southern air harbor.

As of 10:30 MSK, two aircraft that diverted to alternate airports have arrived at Sochi Airport, been serviced, and sent to their destination cities.

At the alternate airport in Mineralnye Vody, the flight from Cherepovets to Sochi remains due to crew rest.

The departures of two flights are delayed by more than two hours. The situation at the airport is calm. All operations — from check-in to boarding — are being carried out normally, according to the air harbor«s press service.

Passengers can track all necessary information about their flight on the online boards in the terminal, on the airport«s website, airlines» sites, or subscribe to notifications for their flight via the Telegram bot @AerodinamikaBot, as well as carefully listen to audio announcements in the terminal, — the message states.
