Restrictions have been introduced at the airports of Gelendzhik and Krasnodar.
Flights have been restricted at Gelendzhik and Krasnodar airports due to flight safety concerns.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on November 23, restrictions on flight arrivals and departures were imposed at Gelendzhik and Krasnodar airports due to flight safety concerns. Later, the restrictions were lifted. That night, the military shot down four drones in the Krasnodar Territory and 36 over the Black Sea.
Restrictions on aircraft arrivals and departures have been imposed at Gelendzhik and Krasnodar airports, Rosaviatsiya press secretary Artem Korenyako announced today on his Telegram channel. "The restrictions are necessary to ensure flight safety," he added.
Even without additional restrictions, both airports do not handle scheduled flights 24/7: Gelendzhik Airport operates from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM Moscow time, and Krasnodar Airport operates from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Moscow time, Korenyako recalled.
Gelendzhik and Krasnodar airports resumed operations in July and September 2025, respectively, after a three-year hiatus. They were closed in 2022, following the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine. Flights at both airports have been restricted to daylight hours only.
As a reminder, on November 14, restrictions were also imposed on Krasnodar and Gelendzhik airports. That morning, a drone attack occurred in Novorossiysk, injuring four people and damaging six residential buildings, the Sheskharis oil depot, a container terminal, and a civilian vessel in the port.
