Flights at Sochi airport to be postponed by 37 schedules
In the early hours of August 2, 2021, a series of events unfolded across southern Russia, primarily in the Krasnodar Krai and other regions.
The events began on the evening of August 1 when a drone threat was announced across the Krasnodar Krai. Debris from a drone was later found on the territory of Novoderevyanakovskaya stanitsa in the Kanevsky district, following another attack.
On the morning of August 2, the air defense system was activated in the Primorsko-Akhtarsk district, and a missile threat was announced. As a precaution, the Crimean Bridge was closed.
This drone activity had a ripple effect on air travel, with 9 flights delayed for departure to Moscow, 3 flights each delayed for arrival from Moscow and Samara, 1 flight each delayed for arrival from Penza, Nalchik, Saratov, Barnaul, Irkutsk, Kazan, and Cheboksary, and 2 flights each delayed for departure to Samara, Novosibirsk, Cherepovets, Istanbul, Ulyanovsk, Kirov, Nizhnekamsk, and Yekaterinburg.
At the resort city's airport, 22 flights were delayed at 9:45 on Saturday.
Over Kuban and the Black and Azov Seas, 42 drones were shot down overnight on August 2.
It is important to note that there are no specific reports or information from the search results regarding airport flight delays in a resort city or drone threats in Krasnodar Krai on August 2, 2021. The data mainly covers drone attacks in southern Russia and other regions, including recent strikes in 2025, with no mention of events from August 2, 2021, or specific issues at airports in resort cities or in Krasnodar Krai on that date.
While these events disrupted travel and caused concern, further investigation is needed to confirm the exact details and implications of these incidents in the affected regions.
The drone attacks in southern Russia, particularly in the Krasnodar Krai, significantly impacted the region's lifestyle, as travel plans were disrupted, resulting in delays of multiple flights to and from various cities, including resort destinations. Additionally, the unpredictable weather conditions caused by these incidents may have further complicated travel arrangements for tourists.
