Russia's Third Airport Halted Operations: No More Incoming or Outbound Flights

Air Traffic Halt: Suspension of Incoming and Outgoing Flights at Russia's Third Airport

In the Samara region of Russia, a series of unusual events have unfolded over the past few days. Vyacheslav Fedorychev, the governor of the region, reported an attempted attack on an industrial facility in Syzran this morning.

According to Fedorychev, the region was attacked by hostile drones, and air defense and operational services were engaged. The source of the report about the attempted attack is not specified, but RIA Novosti made the announcement.

On the same note, a fire was extinguished in the Samara region following a drone attack. The details about this incident are not provided, but it seems to be connected to the attack on the industrial facility in Syzran. The connection, however, is not entirely clear from the available information.

In response to these events, Samara Airport temporarily halted incoming and outgoing flights last night. The flight halt is necessary to ensure flight safety, as reported by Artem Koreniago, a representative of Rosaviatsiya. The reason for the flight restrictions at airports in Saratov, Volgograd, and Samara is not mentioned in this paragraph.

Restrictions were previously imposed at airports in Saratov and Volgograd, and it appears that the threat of drone attacks in the Samara region is the cause. The MCHS app is the source of the threat announcement, but no further information about the status of the industrial enterprise in Syzran has been provided.

Artem Koreniago reported the airport closure in a Telegram channel. Flight restrictions lasted approximately 3.5 hours at Samara Airport. No additional information about the ongoing situation is available at this time.
