Airport in Sochi removes limitations on planes taking off and landing
In a relief for the residents and guests of Sochi, the head of the resort city, Andrey Proshunin, has announced the cancellation of the drone attack threat. The threat, which had posed a significant risk to the safety and security of the city, has now been neutralised.
Sochi, a popular resort city located in the Krasnodar region, has been in the news recently due to the discovery of debris from Ukrainian drones in multiple municipalities, including Sochi itself. The emergency and special services have been working diligently at the sites where the debris was found, ensuring the safety of the city's inhabitants.
The drone attacks, which occurred on August 9, 2025, had caused disruptions in the flight schedules at Sochi Airport (Adler-Sochi International, AER). However, despite these temporary setbacks, the airport has shown resilience and adaptability. Flights have resumed with normal or near-normal timing, with Aeroflot flight 1074 from Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO) landing on time at Sochi (AER) on August 12, 2025, a clear indication of the airport's resumed operations.
The airport serves about 80 non-stop destinations in 15 countries with 27 airlines, and the route network remains extensive and active as of early August 2025. For the most current flight times and any last-minute changes, checking live flight trackers or the official airport information is recommended, as these provide real-time updates on arrivals and departures.
Overall, the situation is stabilising, and Sochi Airport has resumed regular commercial flight operations following the temporary restrictions related to the drone threats. Visitors can now travel to and from Sochi with confidence, knowing that the city is safe and secure.
