A major Russian tour operator ANEX Tour late in the evening on February 27 announced the temporary cancellation of imported flights from Russian cities to the Caribbean countries. Namely, Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Travel agents have been notified.
The company notes that this forced step is associated with the closure of the airspace of the EU countries. Flights to these destinations will be carried out only for the return of tourists as planned – in accordance with the dates of the end of the tours.
So far, ANEX Tour has suspended the flight program for a month until March 28. Apparently, then the tour operator will make a decision based on the current situation.
In turn, Coral Travel warned retail partners that the February 28 flight of the affiliated airline Royal Flight RL 573/574 will be exported from Cuba. The tour operator asks tourists not to come to the airport.
Also, Pegas Fly canceled the scheduled flight EO 1537 to Punta Cana from St. Petersburg. “Pegasus tourists have been sent home,” the travel agent said.
Observers warn that dozens of international flights from Russia will be canceled today. This is confirmed by the information that the Federal Air Transport Agency, Rostourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs organize the export of Russian citizens from Europe home. The flight schedule will be formed soon.
