Russia to resume flights with Spain, Iraq, Kenya, Slovakia from Sept. 21 – Reuters

MOSCOW, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Russia will resume passenger flights with Spain, Iraq, Kenya and Slovakia from Sept. 21, the government said on Monday, and will increase the number of airports with flights to Turkey and Egypt.

Russia imposed wide-ranging travel restrictions at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, many of which remain in force, but has gradually expanded the list of countries for air travel.

Russia's coronavirus task force said it had decided flights could resume after it had assessed the epidemiological situation in those countries.
