Russia’s Aeroflot airline suspends all international flights from March 8

<p>
<strong>Russia's flagship carrier Aeroflot has announced that it will halt all international flights except to Belarus starting March 8.<br />
</strong><br />
The country's biggest airline said that its decision of "temporary suspension" of all international flights has been taken due to the occurrence of additional circumstances that impede the operation of flights.<br />
<br />
To mitigate the risks of impossibility to use return flights to Russia for its passengers, Aeroflot, starting from March 6 will stop admitting passengers to international flights who have round-trip tickets with a return leg to the Russian Federation in the period after March 8.</p>

Passengers on international flights with one-way tickets departing from the Russian Federation will be accepted for transportation until the flight is terminated.</p>
<p>
The airline said that passengers of cancelled international flights can get a full refund of the ticket price.<br />
<br />
"Passengers of international flights who are abroad and have two-way tickets with a used flight segment from the Russian Federation can apply to the carrier for reissuing the return segment to Russia until the flight is terminated. For passengers who will remain abroad by the time the flights are terminated, the airline will make every effort to organize their return to Russia," the airline said in a <a href="https://www.aeroflot.ru/ru-ru/news/62292">statement</a> on Saturday.<br />
<br />
Aeroflot will however continue to fully operate flights on its route network within Russia and from Minsk.</p>
