Flight restrictions lifted at Moscow’s Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports

Restrictions on flight operations at Moscow’s Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports have been lifted, Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency said.

Both airports had been handling arrivals and departures subject to approval from the relevant authorities because of restrictions on airspace use.

That procedure was in place for about 20 minutes at Domodedovo and almost six hours at Vnukovo, Interfax reported.
