Russia's Rosaviatsia closes all four Moscow airports
Air traffic into and out of Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Zhukovsky and Sheremetyevo is restricted until further notice, preventing normal passenger and cargo movements through Moscow's main international hubs.
Change
Russia's Rosaviatsia imposed air-traffic restrictions and closed Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Zhukovsky and Sheremetyevo until further notice after Russian air defences shot down 11 Ukrainian drones within an hour on February 22, 2026.
Why it matters
Active air-defence interceptions over the Moscow area create an elevated safety risk that prevents normal flight operations and overflights. Airlines and flight planners now face sudden loss of hub connectivity and disrupted route availability for both domestic and international services.
Implications
- — Airlines' operational control centres must cancel, delay or reroute flights scheduled to arrive at or depart from Moscow's four international airports and notify affected passengers.
- — Moscow's air traffic control units must implement Rosaviatsia's restrictions, enforce temporary flight suspensions and coordinate diversion procedures with adjacent flight information regions.
