Flights between Russia and the United States can be renewed at any time subject to the notice of the American authorities a month before the beginning of the restoration of air links. Such a condition called TASS, the official representative of the American Ministry of transport.
“the U.S. Department of transportation took no action to limit the activities of Russian carriers”, — said the Agency. In this regard, according to the American legislation, Russian carriers only need to send the schedule of flights at least 30 days.
in addition, previously acting assistant Secretary of state for Europe and Eurasia Philip Reeker, said that the decision on the resumption of regular air communication between Russia and the United States will take the carriers themselves. While U.S. authorities currently assess the prospects of the abolition of the previously imposed restrictions on border crossing.
July 10, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Tatyana Golikova said that the process of removing restrictions and the resumption of international air traffic in Russia will begin on July 15. From this day the aviation authorities will negotiate with other countries on the issue of restoration of traffic.
Russia closed the borders and canceled most of the passenger traffic in connection with the distribution of COVID-19 at the end of March. The exceptions were flights organized for the return of Russians from abroad, as well as private flights on behalf of the government. 8 June, Prime Minister of Russia Mikhail Mishustin announced that citizens were allowed to travel abroad, but solely for the purpose of work, study, treatment, or care of relatives.
