Three flights are delayed at Nizhny Novgorod airport.

      May 18, 2026 09:08 Society Three flights were delayed at Nizhny Novgorod Airport "Chkalov" on the morning of May 18. This is evidenced by the data from the online flight board of the air harbor. The changes in the schedule are related to the introduction of temporary restrictions on the arrival and departure of aircraft. The NordWind airline flight to Samara will depart late - according to the schedule, the departure was planned for 09:30. The departure of the Aeroflot flight to Moscow, which was supposed to take off at 09:40, has also been postponed. In addition, the Ikar airline flight to Sochi, with a scheduled departure time of 11:10, is delayed. It should be noted that the day before, the Nizhny Novgorod airport served as a backup for the capital's harbors. Over the course of a day, it received 22 flights. The planes were redirected to Nizhny Novgorod due to temporary restrictions in effect at Moscow airports. Passengers of the three flights were subsequently transported to "Sheremetyevo" by organized bus transfers at the airlines' decision. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
