At the Krasnodar airport, the departure time of five flights is changing, and the arrival of five aircraft is expected to be delayed due to weather conditions. This was announced on Saturday, November 6, by the press service of the air harbor.
In addition, due to the fog, several flights went to alternate airfields in Rostov-on-Don and Sochi.
“The airport is working, currently it works mainly for dispatching flights. Seven flights are expected to be delayed on arrival. Departure times for five flights are changing for departure due to late arrival in Krasnodar due to fog, “- said in a message posted on the social network” Vkontakte “.
The visibility on the runway is about 150 m, which is lower than the allowable for receiving aircraft, the press service said.
A day earlier, two planes en route to Krasnodar from Egypt and from Moscow left for alternate airfields in Rostov-on-Don and Anapa due to fog. The visibility was 200 m.
On November 4, fog paralyzed the airport in Voronezh. A flight from St. Petersburg and eight planes from Moscow could not take off from Voronezh, while airliners from St. Petersburg and four planes from the Russian capital were unable to fly into the city because of the fog.
On November 2, a thick fog also enveloped the streets of the capital. In some areas, visibility did not exceed 20-30 m. Due to unfavorable weather, about 700 flights were delayed and canceled at the capital’s airports. Some planes landed at the airports of Voronezh and Nizhny Novgorod instead of Moscow.
For example, passengers of planes flying to Moscow, stuck because of the fog in Nizhny Novgorod, said that they waited for hours for departure, but in the end they still could not get on board. An operational headquarters was created at the airport to work with passengers. A spokesman for the press service of the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region also said that hot meals were handed out to people whose planes were delayed.
