“In order to fully normalize air traffic, it was decided to create a temporary hub at the airport in Sochi, to which nearby airports will be connected,” RIA Novosti quoted the ministry as saying.
Earlier, the head of the Russian Ministry of Transport, Vitaly Savelyev, said that the situation at airports in southern Russia had returned to normal.
The Federal Air Transport Agency instructed the airline to arrange a refund for citizens who had tickets for canceled flights or alternative routes to the south of Russia.
