The current transport communication restrictions which were imposed at Russia's southern airports since February 24 have been extended until March 26, RIA Novosti reported, citing Aerodinamika—the operator of the airports of the Kuban region.

Earlier, Aerodinamika had announced that this air traffic restriction would be extended until March 20—and due to the recognition of the area of airports in southern Russia as unsafe for the landing of civilian aircrafts.
