Overview
- Rossiya flight FV6097 to St. Petersburg was damaged during taxi at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo after contact with a Hainan Airlines A330 arriving from Beijing, and no injuries were reported.
- The Hainan A330 was removed from service after inspection, with airport staff assisting affected travelers and arranging hotels for 264 passengers as reserve aircraft were deployed.
- Russia’s North‑West transport prosecutorate opened a review, the Investigative Committee began a procedural check, and Rosaviatsia said it will convene a commission to examine the incident.
- Temporary flight restrictions continued to shift across Russian regional airports, with Sochi suspending and later restoring operations and Krasnodar canceling three flights and diverting two due to reported drone risks.
- In Denmark, reported drones briefly closed Aalborg before flights resumed, police noted sightings in other parts of the country, and attribution remains unconfirmed following an earlier unverified claim that a training aircraft may explain some footage.
