Pulkovo Airport Resumes Normal Operations After Airspace Adjustments

St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport is now handling flights as usual, with takeoffs and landings coordinated through the appropriate authorities. The announcement came from Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency, Rosaviatsia, on Thursday, July 4.

The agency confirmed that temporary restrictions on airspace usage around the airport have been modified to allow scheduled operations to proceed. While specific details of the adjustments were not disclosed, the move signals a return to routine air traffic management after a period of heightened caution.

Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for any residual schedule changes, as the airport works through a backlog of flights. The coordinated approach ensures safety remains the top priority while keeping travel moving for thousands of passengers passing through Russia’s second-busiest aviation hub.
