Once again, flights from Krasnoyarsk to Moscow are delayed or even cancelled: the "Cover" plan is back in play at Moscow airports.
The airport in Krasnoyarsk spilled the beans about the restrictions.
For instance, flights with reisa "Yuteir" UT572 (scheduled for 2:30 PM instead of 7:10 AM), bound for Vnukovo, and Aeroflot's SU1483 (scheduled for 3:25 PM instead of 11:30 AM), headed for Sheremetyevo, are holding their horses.
Moreover, from Moscow, reis UT571's arrival is delayed until 12:30.
What's more, the national carrier scrapped reis SU1481/1485—
their passengers will instead be directed to the capital via reis 1482/1483 on a roomier Boeing 777-300, when it arrives from Sheremetyevo.
You can check the latest schedule on the airport's website.

Background
The repeated flight disruptions from Krasnoyarsk to Moscow are part of a broader issue affecting numerous Russian airports. Here's a lowdown:
- Nationwide Flight Chaos: Russian airlines are grappling with mass delays due to temporary flight restrictions across the country, including airports in Siberia and major cities such as Moscow[2].
- 'Cover' Plan: Although details of the 'Cover' plan are scarce, it's likely a response to the country-wide flight restrictions, aimed at streamlining air traffic during periods of increased demand or operational challenges.
- Kazan Airport Delays: Kazan airport has suffered over 20 flight delays due to similar operational restrictions[4]. This suggests that the problem isn't isolated to a single airport but is part of a larger national aviation management strategy.
- Siberian Woes: In Siberia, over 4,000 passengers have been left in the lurch due to flight delays in multiple cities, including Krasnoyarsk, where more than 700 passengers are awaiting takeoff[2]. This indicates that the region is taking a hard hit from the delays.
In a nutshell, the combination of national flight restrictions and local operational adjustments like the 'Cover' plan in Moscow airports seems to be the root of the repeated delays and cancellations of flights from Krasnoyarsk to Moscow.
- Recent news articles have reported on the ongoing political discussions concerning nationwide flight restrictions affecting multiple Russian airports, including Krasnoyarsk and Moscow, which impacted various airlines' schedules, such as reisa "Yuteir" and Aeroflot.
- In addition to news about travel delays and cancellations, lifestyle sections may also cover the accompanying lifestyle challenges faced by the affected travelers, like spending extended hours at the airport, potential missed work or events, and coping strategies like meal options, relaxation tips, or communication with the airline to manage expectations efficiently.
