Moscow airports experienced a collapse due to a drone attack.
Russian airlines changed flights due to drone attacks
Russian airlines began to massively cancel or change flights due to disruptions in airport operations after drone attacks. This was reported by 'Hlavkom' citing Russian media.
The press service of 'Aeroflot' reported forced cancellations and consolidation of flights in connection with this, promising passengers rebooking or refunds for tickets.
The greatest chaos is observed at Moscow's 'Vnukovo' airport, where all the information boards are 'lighting up in yellow and red'. The terminals are overcrowded, and cafes are unable to accommodate all boarding passengers.
Kazan airport became part of the situation when an 'Aeroflot' flight from Dubai to Moscow was forced to land in Kazan due to the closure of 'Sheremetyevo' airport in Moscow.
Passengers reported that after arriving around one in the morning, the plane was parked for two hours, after which they were promised travel to a hotel, but ultimately they were denied accommodation, explaining this by lack of space.
As a result, passengers remained in the waiting area without sufficient food, water, and information.
Recall that on the night of May 7, Moscow and the Moscow region were attacked by strike drones, leading to fires in Tula and at the Saransk plant producing optical fiber in Russia.
