Russian tourists were pointed out the countries where you can fly on vacation: a complete list
Rosaviatsia and tourism officials have been actively warning tourists and tour operators who have started traveling and selling tours for “cargo-passenger” flights. But to guide tourists in which destinations are really open to tourism and which are only for technical flights, the aviation regulator has published a complete list of permitted countries.
But first, officials again warned tourists and travel agencies about the risks of traveling on cargo and passenger flights. “Currently, the Operational Headquarters of the Russian Federation allows flights for tourist purposes outside the Russian Federation only to certain states. Irregular cargo and passenger flights are also allowed in a number of countries for the purpose of transportation of only certain categories of passengers, in particular: foreign citizens, return of compatriots to the Homeland, family reunification, treatment, work, etc. categories “, – stated in Rosaviatsia. However, “in conditions of increased demand, unscrupulous tour operators” sell tours to “officially” closed countries on non-scheduled cargo and passenger flights.
“When purchasing a tour ticket with an air ticket abroad, please take into account that airlines cannot transport organized groups of tourists when performing non-scheduled cargo and passenger flights. It is strongly recommended to refrain from flying abroad on these flights for the purpose of recreation as part of organized tours, “- warned tourists. Airlines, in turn, were intimidated that “in the event of the discovery of the sale of cargo and passenger flights in tour packages, restrictive measures will be taken against the airline.” Rosaviatsia also informed Rostourism about the need to take appropriate measures against unscrupulous tour operators, which include air transportation on non-scheduled cargo and passenger flights.
