Flights at Saratov airport resumed in a period of three hours

Airports in the Russian cities of Samara, Volgograd, and Kazan suspended flights on September 1, as the country continues to impose restrictions due to the threat of drone attacks.

The suspensions were implemented at 00:14 Moscow time, according to various sources, although it is not specified if the announcements were made by any specific authority. The flights at these airports occurred on a date later than August 30.

Meanwhile, the restrictions at Saratov Airport (Gagarin) have been lifted, as announced by Rosaviatsiya representative Artem Korenyako on his Telegram channel. During the duration of the restrictions at Saratov Airport, one plane, an Airbus A321, was redirected to the backup airport.

It is not clear if one plane was redirected to a backup airport during the suspensions at the airports in Samara, Volgograd, and Kazan. Previously, flights at these airports were also suspended, although the duration of these suspensions is not specified.

As of publication, the suspensions at airports in Samara, Volgograd, and Kazan are still in effect. The reason for these suspensions, like the ones at Saratov Airport, is likely due to the threat of drone attacks, as is the case with Russian airports in general.

The article "Fourth Russian Airport Halts Flights" from rbc.group was the source for this information. It is important to note that the suspensions at the airports in Samara, Volgograd, and Kazan were not announced by Rosaviatsiya representative Artem Korenyako on his Telegram channel, unlike the suspension at Saratov Airport.
