Adjustments unveiled in the flight plan for Sochi by another airliner
In an unexpected turn of events, Russia-based airlines Aeroflot and Rossiya Airlines (operating as Aviacompany "Russia") have made adjustments to their flight schedules for destinations in Sochi and Gelendzhik, following temporary operational restrictions at Sochi Airport on August 8-11, 2025.
Initially, it was reported that stabilizing the flight schedule would take one to two days. However, due to time constraints at Sochi Airport, several airlines, including Aeroflot and Rossiya Airlines, were forced to make changes and cancellations to their flights during this period.
Aeroflot explicitly warned about cancellations and forced schedule adjustments affecting flights on August 8 and 9, with some flights canceled entirely. Similarly, Rossiya Airlines implemented schedule changes for the same reason.
Although NordStar is mentioned in the query, the specific search results do not detail NordStar's schedule adjustments due to the Sochi airport restrictions.
Temporary operational restrictions at Sochi Airport were officially in place on August 8 and 9, causing 17 aircraft to divert to alternate airports. The restrictions were lifted later on August 9, according to federal authorities.
Passengers were advised to monitor changes and contact airlines for updates. Flight tracking data for August 14 does not show direct signs of continued disruptions but confirms normal arrivals and departures post restriction period.
During this challenging time, airline contact centers operated in enhanced mode to assist passengers with rebooking or obtaining refunds. It is essential for passengers to stay informed and follow the advice of their respective airlines for any future travel plans to Sochi and Gelendzhik.
