All four of its airports, as well as that of Kaluga, located 160 kilometers southwest of the Russian capital, were temporarily closed, according to a statement from its civil aviation service.
However, the reasons were not specified.
“Aircraft crews, air traffic controllers and airport services are taking all necessary measures for flight safety,” Rosaviatsia said in a statement.
The “carpet” plan has been implemented in Moscow airports — Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Zhukovsky, Sheremetyevo — as well as at Kaluga airport due to the threat of a drone attack, according to Russian media.
Departures and arrivals have reportedly been delayed.
