As of February 12, 2026, Saratov and Penza airports have resumed normal operations following the lifting of previous flight restrictions. This contrasts with the situation at Moscow's Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo airports, which on February 13, 2026, implemented coordinated acceptance and departure procedures, limiting their flight operations. Additionally, Volgograd Airport lifted its restrictions on aircraft arrivals and departures by February 13, 2026. These developments indicate a partial normalization of air traffic in several Russian regional airports while major Moscow hubs continue to operate under constrained conditions.
