Sochi international airport has resumed accepting flights that were briefly diverted to nearby airports due to strong crosswinds in the airport vicinity. This update came via a Telegram channel associated with the airport’s operations.
The message noted that current weather conditions permit aircrews to perform landings at Sochi once again, marking a return to normal operations after the disruption.
Officials confirmed that the first Surgut to Sochi flight, which had been routed to alternate airports, completed a safe landing at Sochi airport.
In addition, three more aircraft successfully departed from the previously used diversion locations, clearing the backlog created by the weather-related safety measures.
According to the Federal Agency for Air Transport, by noon on Saturday, December 23, a total of 23 aircraft had been diverted to alternative airports earlier that day.
Local authorities, including former Sochi mayor Alexey Kopaygorodsky, reported that beaches in the coastal city remained closed due to the storm. He noted that more than five hundred public service workers and about 200 pieces of equipment were on standby, with staff conducting watchful rounds at social facilities, sanatoriums, and hotels to ensure safety and order.
In the Krasnodar Territory’s emergency department, officials stated that no new incidents were recorded in the Sochi region following the heavy rain and gusty winds, underscoring that the situation was being monitored closely and managed effectively.
Earlier reports had mentioned that a storm in Sochi had caused damage to the Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov beach, highlighting the weather’s impact on coastal infrastructure and public spaces. These developments emphasize the ongoing risk assessment and response coordination across regional authorities.
