85 flights were delayed and seven canceled at Moscow airports due to bad weather

Most of the delayed flights were at Domodedovo - 68. One flight was canceled there. At the same time, five flights were canceled at Vnukovo, another 12 were detained. In Sheremetyevo - one and five, respectively.

According to Interfax, Moscow airports are accredited for the all-weather category, but in the event of a sharp deterioration in the weather, the pilots themselves decide on takeoff and landing. At present, visibility at Moscow airfields is sufficient.

It's worth reminding that a similar situation was observed in the capital's airports yesterday. Due to snowfall, about 60 flights were delayed at Domodedovo, more than 20 were canceled. Also, the planes could not take off from Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo on time. The waiting rooms were overcrowded, there were no empty seats in the cafe. The passengers were forced to sit and lie on the floor on their jackets.

It is worth to note that 85% of the monthly rainfall fell in Moscow over two days.
