Details: As of 09:00 local time, 62 flights were delayed at Vnukovo, 27 at Sheremetyevo, 12 at Zhukovsky and 2 at Domodedovo, according to the Moscow Transport Prosecutor's Office.

Russia's Ministry of Transport expects Moscow airports to resume normal operations by 18:00.

Sirena reported that some passengers have been waiting for flights for two days, with some feeling unwell and calling an ambulance.

Background:

• Several Russian airlines have cancelled dozens of flights following the 7 May loitering munitions attack on Russian territory.
• The closure of Russian airports following drone attacks on 6-7 May disrupted travel plans for at least 60,000 passengers and affected at least 350 flights.
• Amid the transport collapse, Turkish Airlines has cancelled all flights from Antalya, Dalaman and Bodrum to Russian cities, including Moscow.
