Krasnodar Airport has reopened for flights after more than three years of closure. The first flight to Krasnodar Airport is expected to be operated by Aeroflot on September 17. Stavropol Airport resumed regular operations after a single day, while Elista received its first flight from Moscow at the end of May 2024. Throughout the period of restrictions, Krasnodar Airport maintained “a high level of readiness for resuming operations,” according to the ministry. By May 2025, KubanPress reported that construction of the new Krasnodar Airport terminal was approximately 70% complete, with the terminal framework clearly visible.
