To ensure safety, the operation of the Volgograd airport has been suspended, the departure and arrival of at least three flights has been delayed.
As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, on the night of August 21-22, 11 drones were shot down over the Volgograd region.
Around 00:00 Moscow time, temporary restrictions were introduced on the arrival and departure of aircraft at the Volgograd airport. This was reported on his Telegram channel by Rosaviatsiya representative Artem Korenyako.
He clarified that the restrictions are necessary to ensure flight safety.
According to the airport's online board as of 01:00 Moscow time, the departure of one plane to Sharm el-Sheikh is delayed, as well as two arrivals of planes from Moscow and Sharm el-Sheikh.
Recall that since the 1990s, there have been active discussions about renaming the Volgograd airport to "Stalingrad". However, the airport was renamed from "Gumrak" to "Stalingrad" only after Putin's intervention - on April 29, 2025, he announced that he supported the initiative of veterans and participants of the SVO, signing a decree on the renaming on the same day. At the same time, some citizens spoke out sharply against the renaming, recalling the Stalin era, during which 250 thousand Stalingrad residents were repressed.
