According to ATOR, with high probability the flights to the CIS countries can resume from September 1. In a number of countries, which may be renewed flights are Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan. In particular, Kazakhstan and Armenia on the eve expressed their readiness to resume air links with Russia and waiting for an answer. Informed also about the willingness to accept the Russians said Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. All of these countries, and Tajikistan had been on the referral list, which in early July had proposed resuming flights to the transport Ministry.
In ATOR believe that the restoration of flights in these areas for several reasons. The situation with coronavirus in Russia stabiliziruemost as in neighboring countries. In September the industrial launch of the vaccine from COVID-19. In addition, play the role of close business, economic and humanitarian ties between Russia and CIS countries.
the Resumption of international flights is unlikely to happen immediately with all neighbouring countries. While it is possible that certain areas will be opened, the Director of the Association “Turpomosch” Oleksandr Osaulenko. There are reasons for this. “Neighboring countries have passed the peak of the pandemic, and together with Russia and with its support. So in professional terms, Russian specialists are aware of what is really happening in these countries, you can be sure that the situation is brought under control,” he said in an interview with “RG”.
the Opening of air links with CIS countries, e.g., Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Belarus, is quite real, the head of the portal “aviation of Russia” Andrey Velichko. But the regulators will take into account the epidemiological situation. This is now hardly possible to claim that the resumption of flights will occur in September, we can talk about autumn. In Russia there is a large number of immigrants from neighboring republics. If necessary, they can neither enter nor leave the country, unable to visit relatives. The human factor will also play a role, said the expert.
the Opening of additional foreign destinations, in principle, increases the availability for the Russians and other countries that are no direct flights notice in ATOR. However, not all countries are ready now to take the Russians. For example, in General do not accept international tourists in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, reminded the ATOR.
the Federal air transport Agency information about the resumption of air links with some of the CIS did not comment.
