Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has announced that international flights will recommence next Friday. It will be possible to fly from airports in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Rostov-on-Don.
However, only three countries have been approved so far: Britain, Tanzania, and Turkey. The latter is a major destination for Russian tourists, while London is a major transport hub. The Kremlin had previously said routes would be restored on a reciprocal basis, which suggests bilateral deals have been made with the three states mentioned.
