ATOR lists countries where you can now fly on a direct flight from Russia

Direct flights of foreign airlines from Russian cities where tourists can travel can fly to 16 countries.

These are Turkey, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Morocco, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Belarus, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, India, Sri Lanka and Serbia.

ATOR recalls that since March 9, Russia has lifted covid restrictions on flights to Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Iran, which led to an increase in the number of flights to a number of countries.

Nevertheless, due to the consequences of Western sanctions, the Azerbaijani company Azerbajzan Airlines (AZAL) has so far refused to fly from Russia in March – flights have been suspended since March 5 for an indefinite period. Another Azerbaijani carrier, Buta Airways, did the same.

Egyptian EgyptAir also suspended flights from Cairo to Moscow – initially until March 10, but this ban was extended. Also, the suspension of flights to Russia was announced by the Kazakh airline Air Astana from March 10 and the Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines from March 13 to 27.

Despite the closure of the skies, many foreign companies are planning to return to Russia to resume flights to Asia and the Middle East.

The resumption of flights from Domodedovo (Moscow) to Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) has been announced by Air Cairo since April 30 (1 flight per week).

Royal Jordanian plans to start flying from Domodedovo (Moscow) to Amman (Jordan) from April 26 (2 flights per week).

Armenia will start a flight program to Yerevan from Mineralnye Vody (1 flight per week).
