Flight restrictions have been lifted at the Nizhny Novgorod airport.

      Chkalov Airport in Nizhny Novgorod is operating normally after the lifting of flight restrictions. This was reported by the press service of Rosaviation. Recall that restrictions on the acceptance and departure of aircraft were introduced at the Nizhny Novgorod airport yesterday, May 2, around 20:21. The measures were necessary to ensure passenger safety. In connection with the "Carpet" plan, several flights to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Sharm El Sheikh were canceled, and two more planes are currently delayed. The airport is now operating normally again. Recall that the restrictions were imposed due to drone threats—last night, one enemy drone was shot down over the Kstovo district. Earlier, it was reported on the website pravda-nn.ru that direct flights from Nizhny Novgorod to Sukhumi will resume on May 25.
