Uzbekistan Airways has notified passengers of delays affecting flights to and from a number of Russian cities.

Last night, several airports, particularly in Moscow, Vladikavkaz, Grozny, Magas and Makhachkala, introduced restrictions on arriving and departing aircraft due to drone attacks.

As a result, flight HY9623 from Karshi to Moscow (Vnukovo) was diverted to Nizhny Novgorod.

In addition, flights HY606 Moscow (Vnukovo) – Samarkand and HY9628 Moscow (Vnukovo) – Fergana, as well as HY9731/9732 Tashkent – Makhachkala – Tashkent and HY9701/9702 Tashkent – Grozny – Tashkent, are experiencing delays.
