"At the airport, an operational headquarters has been created and is carrying out its work, which deals with the further transportation of passengers to their places of travel, accommodation and accommodation in hotels in Nizhny Novgorod, as well as providing food," the press service of the Volga Transport Prosecutor's Office quoted TASS as saying.

It is noted that the leadership of the Gorky Railway has made a decision to allocate an additional Lastochka train to deliver passengers of delayed flights to Moscow.

Investigators organized a check on the fact of long delays in flights at the Nizhny Novgorod airport.

In social networks, passengers published videos filmed in different planes, where they said that they were not allowed out of the planes on the runway in Nizhny Novgorod for six to eight hours, and were not given food or water.
