Governor of Rostov region reveals possible timeline for Platov airport reopening

Authorities of Rostov region announced that Platov airport in Rostov-on-Don may resume handling civilian flights by the end of 2025. This is significant as the airport has not accepted civilian aircraft since February 2022 due to ongoing restrictions.

This was reported by Russian propaganda media

Platov airport, like several others in southern Russia, has suspended passenger flights for over three years. Restarting operations will improve the region’s transport connectivity and restore passenger traffic.

This move could mark the initial step towards stabilizing air traffic in the southern part of the country, although the exact reopening date and conditions remain uncertain.
