The issue of export flights for Russians is being discussed, but this case is clearly not fast and is burdened by the need for negotiations between Russia and the EU. So those tourists who can – go home yourself. So briefly we can recount the results of the high-level meeting held by Rosaviatsia.
The agencies represented – the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rosaviatsia and Rostourism – said that the issue of export “humanitarian” flights “is currently being worked out”, but in 2020 the process is slow and data collection and processing takes time and effort. creation of special resources”. In addition, the situation is complicated by the fact that “humanitarian flights will be possible subject to positive decisions of the aviation authorities of the EU, through which these flights will be organized.” “In this regard, Russian citizens are encouraged to consider alternative routes home, which is currently the best,” – said officially in Rosaviatsia. Translated into Russian – tourists were first asked to choose independently.
The agency’s recommendations are as follows:
- Use commercial flights of foreign airlines to fly to third countries that have not restricted flights to Russia. Then flights of Russian or foreign airlines to points in the territory. Russia For example, through Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Qatar, UAE, Turkey, etc.
- Use mixed (multimodal) transport routes. For example, get to Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Finland using foreign airlines or other means of transport. Then by land to points near Russia, in particular through Belarus.
