Rosaviatsiya did not give the go-ahead: Russians are still waiting for the flights to their homeland

Ural Airlines company was supposed to take the Russians out of India, but canceled the flight.

- Flights from India were canceled due to the permission withdrawal by the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) due to changes in the order of registration of citizens who wish to return to Russia, - quotes "Kommersant" message of the press service.

Let us recall that the flight Trivandrum-Yekaterinburg was scheduled for April 8. And a flight from Goa was expected on April 9.

In the Russian Consulate-General in Chennai, stuck compatriots were advised not to leave the hotels and guest houses. However, Russians complained that they were simply expelled from hotels and houses - local residents are afraid of foreigners, considering them to be the carriers of the coronavirus.

Today in India there are about five thousand citizens of the Russian Federation. Diplomats offered the Russians to leave the country with commercial flights, but the cost of tickets was quite high - from 60 thousand rubles. Some Russian tourists, who were stuck in Goa, wrote that other foreigners were being taken out of the state, and "they stopped responding at our embassy."

Aurora, which the Russians hoped for remaining in South Korean Seoul, also canceled the flight. 170 people are waiting for departure to Khabarovsk, but in connection with the withdrawal of permission by the Federal Air Transport Agency, the wait is delayed.

- The plane did not fly, the Federal Air Transport Agency did not issue a new permit. The flight was postponed in the afternoon, the Khabarovsk Territory government reported.

Earlier it was said that the Far East passengers of Aurora and Aeroflot, who were actually blocked at Incheon Airport, recorded a video message to Russian President Vladimir Putin asking them not to leave them without food, water, and medication. Carriers did not take care of their passengers who were left in the transit zone without baggage, did not provide them with food and drink, and did not accommodate in hotels.

The return of Russian citizens from abroad was suspended on April 4 due to possible difficulties in organizing quarantine for arrivals. On April 6, it was resumed. At that time, about 30 thousand Russians were waiting outside Russia for their return home.
