It is recommended to operate flights only between 9:00 and 19:00 Moscow time.
The warning for Russian airlines was introduced on October 1 after Iran’s massive missile attack on Israel.
Airlines operate direct flights from Russia to Tehran and Tel Aviv. Iranian airspace is used for flights to the United Arab Emirates and Iraqi airspace for flights to the Seychelles.
In the context of the escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel, on October 1 the Federal Air Transport Agency requested the temporary cessation of flights in the airspace of Israel, Iran and Iraq, as well as changes in routes to fly over these countries.
On October 2, flights over the territories of Israel, Iraq and Iran were allowed, but with temporary restrictions – from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Moscow time. The next day, restrictions on flights in these directions were extended until 02:59 Moscow time on November 3, 2024.
