Moscow, May 19 (UNI) The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) is in dialogue with the aviation authorities of many countries regarding the resumption of flights, the head of the agency, Dmitry Yadrov, told reporters on the sidelines of the HeliRussia 2025 forum.
On May 14, following a meeting of BRICS transport ministers, the Russian Transport Ministry announced that Russia was ready to expand air traffic with the BRICS countries and open new flight routes.
