Yulia Spivakova, press secretary of Aeroflot, shared information with the federal channel that with the onset of a favorable epidemiological situation, international air traffic will be restored. Presumably, this will come in the middle of summer, the airline does not name more exact dates.
The head of Rospotrebnadzor in a recent address said that airlines will be forced to introduce new rules of conduct on board, making it mandatory to wear a mask and gloves during the flight. According to Anna Popova, this is a new reality that everyone needs to put up with. In turn, Spivakova noted that recommendations on observing the distance between passengers may be added to these requirements.
In Russia, regular and charter international air travel was discontinued, as in many countries, at the end of March. The only exceptions were flights that were designated for the export of Russians to their homeland from other countries.
Aeroflot has suspended not only flights, but also the sale of tickets for upcoming international flights. The nearest time for which you can buy a ticket is August this year. However, this does not guarantee the resumption of flights. These dates were set by the airline to avoid a flood of questions from customers.
