Russia: Flight operations resume at Ufa International Airport, Ufa, late Oct. 31 /update 1

Authorities announced the resumption of flight arrivals and departures at Ufa International Airport (UFA) late Oct. 31. Operators had suspended flight operations earlier Oct. 31. While authorities did not disclose the reason for the suspension, it was likely prompted by an attempted drone attack on an industrial site near Ufa.

Increased security is likely near UFA through late Oct. 31 and may continue into early Nov. 1; lingering disruptions are likely in the coming hours as carriers reposition aircraft and work through their passenger backlogs.
