Reportedly, the Russians have closed Moscow’s Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports for arrivals and departures.
In particular, six aircraft have been diverted to backup airfields at Domodedovo.
The airport management claims that during such restrictions, planes may be diverted to alternate airfields or continue the flight in the waiting area and land after the restrictions are lifted at the destination airport.
