UTair Baggage Delays Ease as Bags Reach Dubai, Vnukovo Offers Pickup

Transport watchdogs review handling after record Moscow snowfall strained airport operations.

Overview

  • UTair said the luggage that was not loaded departed on a later flight and reached Dubai on Sunday with an expected arrival time of 16:00 local (17:00 MSK).
  • Vnukovo reported that 68 pieces for flight UT‑716 were left off at departure and are now available for personal collection, with pickup requiring a passport, boarding pass, and baggage tag.
  • The airport added that the full set of unclaimed bags has been delivered to its 24‑hour international unclaimed‑baggage room, and courier delivery will follow for customers who arranged it.
  • Sheremetyevo stated that more than half of delayed baggage units have been delivered to owners as flights operate on adjusted schedules and field crews continue cleanup.
  • Rostransnadzor said it is examining the circumstances and passenger‑rights compliance after Moscow saw its heaviest snowfall in 56 years, which weather specialists say dropped 42% of the monthly norm in a day.
