Flight Restrictions Lifted in Tatarstan Airports After Safety Measures

Airports in Kazan and Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan, resumed operations after lifting flight restrictions imposed for safety reasons. Operations were halted for over two hours due to drone sightings. Employees at several Kazan businesses were also evacuated, according to Russian state news agencies.

Airports in the cities of Kazan and Nizhnekamsk lifted temporary flight restrictions which had been imposed for safety reasons earlier on Friday, a representative for Rosaviatsia, the country's aviation regulator, said on Telegram.

The airports, both located in the Tatarstan region, were out of action for more than two hours before restarting operations. Unverified videos on social media earlier on Friday had shown drones flying over the region.

Employees at several businesses in Kazan were also evacuated for safety reasons, Russian state news agencies reported, citing local officials.
