“Due to additional security measures in Moscow, we ask passengers departing from Sheremetyevo to arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure time,” Aeroflot said yesterday around midnight in its telegram channel.
Other airlines have issued similar warnings due to traffic jams and queues. So, the airline Red Wings wrote: “Due to increased security measures, we ask passengers to arrive at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky airports in advance.” And Rossiya Airlines informed that all its flights “currently depart according to the schedule.” At the same time, she stressed that “we ask you to be vigilant, take into account the increased security measures at airports and arrive in advance to complete all pre-flight procedures.”
Nevertheless, in the early morning, a traffic jam formed at the entrance to Sheremetyevo airport against the background of increased security measures. TK Brief writes about this. This is indirectly confirmed by the Yandex map.Traffic jams. So the appeals of airlines to arrive in advance are not empty words: passenger screening has been strengthened, and the time for its passage has naturally increased.
