Russia's Federal Agency for Air Transport, Rosaviatsiya, is considering organizing humanitarian flights from countries where large groups of Russians live.

Such flights to Russia will be possible subject to positive decisions of the aviation authorities of the EU countries, Rosaviatsiya said

"Taking into account the experience of organizing such flights in 2020, data collection and processing require time and special resources. In this regard, Russian citizens are advised to consider alternative routes for returning home, which at the moment seems to be the most preferable," the Federal Air Transport Agency notes.

In particular, Rosaviatsiya has proposed boarding commercial flights to third countries that have not restricted air traffic with the Russian Federation, and then return to Russia. For example, flights are possible through Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Turkey, UAE, and other countries.
