The airline’s press service announced that 93% of flights from and to Moscow are planned to operate today, totaling 216 roundtrip flights out of a scheduled 233.

Data from Sheremetyevo Airport’s online scoreboard indicated that 22 Aeroflot flights were canceled between 00:00 and 12:00 PM on July 29th, with the majority of cancellations occurring before 10:00 AM.

The press service stated that the company implemented targeted flight cancellations until 10:00 AM, after which the flight program stabilized. Currently, flights are departing on schedule.
