Airport temporarily shut down due to technical issues.
Hear ye, hear ye! Flight peeps, hold on to your seats! The airport in the gritty, coal-richcity of Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region, has temporarily grounded all crafts due to some nasty tech snags. That's straight from the horse's mouth, folks – the airport's own press service spilled the beans.
Fret not, though, as the technical dream team from the aerodrome service are hard at work, rooting out this gremlin to get the airport back in the air in no time. But they ain't saying what exactly's causing this ruckus.
Now, this unexpected halt's put a wrench in flights to Kazan, Yekaterinburg, and Novosibirsk. Passengers headed to Kazan need to brace themselves as they're now being diverted to a Novosibirsk backup airport. And the poor souls bound for Novosibirsk are stuck with a delayed arrival.
The airport dudes and dudettes have warned us that the schedule could be a movin' and groovin' target, so passengers are strongly urged to keep a close eye on the online board for the ol' switcheroo.
On a brighter note, it's worth mentioning that Novokuznetsk Airport recently opened a sleek new terminal in January 2025 – a part of grander airport infrastructure developments sweeping across ol' Russia[1]. But details on the current situation are as scarce as hen's teeth.
The techno-blues aren't limited to Novokuznetsk, either. Sources say Siberian skies have been plagued by widespread flight delays, messing with over 4,000 poor souls[2]. Could be that the whole dang region's facing systemic issues, but specifics on Novokuznetsk Airport are as sparse as the Siberian plains.
So, for the lowdown on this blip, your best bet is to hit 'em up directly at the airport, or check official word from the relevant higher-ups. Stay tuned, flight fam!
