Flights scheduled at Sochi airport to face a delay
Flight Delays Persist at Sochi International Airport
Sochi International Airport is currently experiencing delays for incoming and outgoing flights from various cities, including Ufa, Moscow, Orenburg, Magnitogorsk, Tbilisi, Tel Aviv, St. Petersburg, Hurghada, Nizhnekamsk, and Dubai. The delays have been ongoing for at least two days, as reported on August 12 and 13.
As of 7:55 AM on August 13, 9 flights are delayed for departure and 4 for arrival at Sochi International Airport. The flight delays are primarily due to ongoing concerns about drone attacks in the Krasnodar Krai region, which have forced Russian air defenses to activate and airspace closures to occur.
On August 12, 28 flights were delayed at Sochi Airport, with 15 for departure and 13 for arrival. Among the cities experiencing delays at Sochi Airport on August 12 were Moscow, Tbilisi, Tel Aviv, St. Petersburg, Hurghada, Nizhnekamsk, and Dubai.
The flight delays at Sochi International Airport on August 12 and 13 are both due to the restriction of flights at Volgograd Airport, as reported by Rosaviatsiya's press service. This restriction was the cause of the delays at Sochi International Airport on those days.
It's important to note that the peak disruption occurred around August 8-9, with dozens of flights delayed or canceled due to drone attacks on or near Sochi International Airport. Other airports in Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Novokuznetsk, and Norilsk were also affected by related disruptions around that time.
In comparison, on August 12, no specific disturbance event was mentioned in the search results. However, the surrounding period, especially August 8 and 9, experienced significant disruptions caused by drone attacks on or near Sochi International Airport.
As of August 21, while specific delay numbers are unclear, ongoing security measures suggest that the operational impact continues. Sochi remains the primary affected city, with flights to and from other major Russian and international cities experiencing ripple effects.
