Russian airlines are preparing to resume international flights from July 15

The Federal Air Transport Agency will propose resuming flights, primarily with European countries, including Turkey, as well as with China and South Korea, Lenta.ru reports.

The corresponding proposal will be sent to Rospotrebnadzor. In addition, the decision to resume international flights is planned to be discussed with the operational headquarters for combatting the coronavirus infection. The same decision will depend on the consent of states to accept flights from Russia.

Today, it became known about the plans of domestic airlines to resume flights abroad. This can happen already on July 15 with a steady decrease in the number of people infected with the coronavirus and with strict sanitary rules on board. Flights to the countries of the Eurasian Economic Community and the CIS will be the first to resume.

Russia stopped regular and charter flights with other countries on March 27. The exceptions are flights organized for the return of Russians from abroad, and certain flights on behalf of the government.
