Over 200 Russians Flown Home After Sharjah Fog Disruptions as Extra Flight Set for Nov. 23

Fog-related delays led to aircraft rotation issues, prompting coordinated returns with missing baggage due within two days.

Overview

  • The Russian consul in Dubai said 206 passengers have been rebooked to Russia, with about 96 citizens still in the UAE awaiting staged departures.
  • Air Arabia attributed cancellations and delays to severe fog in Sharjah on November 20 and subsequent aircraft rotation constraints.
  • Domodedovo reported roughly 90 missing baggage items from a Sharjah flight, while Rosaviatsia relayed an airline count of 104 pieces.
  • Delayed luggage is to be delivered on upcoming Sharjah–Moscow services within 48 hours, with delivery to passengers’ locations at the carrier’s expense.
  • Air Arabia scheduled an additional G9 797 flight on November 23 at 21:30 UAE time, and the Sharjah–Russia schedule was reported as operating normally.
