Airport in Nizhny Novgorod resumes operations following the removal of temporary limits
**Nizhny Novgorod Airport Resumes Normal Operations Following Temporary Restrictions**
After a period of temporary restrictions due to safety concerns and drone threats, Nizhny Novgorod Airport has announced that normal operations are resuming as of July 21, 2025. The airport, which had been affected by flight cancellations and delays, is now working diligently to restore its regular schedule.
The restrictions were part of a broader effort across several Russian airports, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, to ensure flight safety following drone-related incidents. However, the specific cause of the temporary restrictions at Nizhny Novgorod Airport was not disclosed.
During the restrictions, the airport experienced 26 canceled flights and 13 delayed flights. Passengers of canceled flights are being transported to their destination by ground transport, while those of delayed flights are currently located in the passenger terminal. Measures are being taken to register passengers at the airport.
To handle the increased operations, airport shifts have been reinforced. Airport staff and airline representatives are actively preparing aircraft for departure, and airlines are providing passengers with water and hot food according to regulations, depending on the duration of the wait for departure.
The airport is currently accepting standby flights and flights according to the regular schedule. Measures are being taken to stabilize the flight schedule and ensure a smooth return to normal operations. The airport's official Telegram channel has indicated that they are actively working to resume normal operations.
In a positive development, the airport has lifted the temporary restrictions, which means that flights are now resuming their normal operations. This should help normalize flight operations and reduce the backlog of delayed flights. However, specific details about the current status of previously delayed flights are not mentioned in the latest updates.
Despite the challenges faced, Nizhny Novgorod Airport remains committed to ensuring the safety and comfort of its passengers, and to providing a seamless travel experience.
