Heavy snowfall is interfering with the operations of St. Petersburg Pulkovo Airport. The air harbor again stopped receiving and releasing aircraft, reports airport press service on Telegram.
“The restrictions are temporary and are necessary to ensure the required coefficient of friction on the runways,” the message noted. At the same time, the Federal Air Transport Agency clarified that the measures will be in effect, provisionally, from 16:30 to 17:10 Moscow time.
Earlier in the morning, Pulkovo had already introduced restrictions for several hours. Snow removal was carried out at the airport and runways were cleared. Passengers were provided with drinks during the waiting period.
