According to the publication, the Russian aviation regulator advised local airlines to divert flights to five alternative airports, namely Sochi (AER), Volgograd (VOG), Mineralnye Vody (MRV), Stavropol (STW) and Moscow (DME).  

As of now, Russian airlines have been authorised to offer domestic passenger services. They can also deliver outbound services to countries that have not sanctioned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
