Russia resumes international flights

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that international flights would be resumed on August 1.

Flights will be operated from Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Rostov airports. The list of countries available for flights will be approved and announced soon.

Due to the coronavirus's spread, Russia entirely suspended regular and charter international flights on March 27; carriers could only operate select flights to return passengers home.

Russia's government also handed down instructions to temporarily restrict traffic into and out of the country at the automotive, railway, pedestrian, and other checkpoints at Russia's state border starting on March 30.
