10:26; 03 June 2026 year

### Pulkovo Airport Resumes Operations After Temporary Flight Restrictions Pulkovo Airport is gradually returning to its regular schedule following temporary restrictions on the arrival and departure of aircraft that were introduced early in the morning for safety reasons. As of 10:00 Moscow time, delays exceeding two hours have been recorded for 41 flights. Additionally, 11 aircraft that were previously diverted to alternate airports are expected to arrive in St. Pyotrsburg. Since the resumption of operations, 15 flights have already been serviced, with passenger traffic reaching approximately two thousand people. Airport authorities have warned that full restoration of the schedule will require additional time. To minimize the impact of the disruption, all services at Pulkovo Airport and airline representatives have been placed on enhanced duty to return the flight program to its normal timetable. Earlier, Rosaviatsiya (the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency) announced the introduction of temporary restrictions on arrivals and departures at Pulkovo Airport. The measure was implemented at 2:50 Moscow time to ensure flight safety. At 8:27 Moscow time, the agency announced the lifting of restrictions and the resumption of airport operations in the usual mode.
