Favorable weather conditions enable the resumption of air travel towards the northern part of the Khabarovsk region.
In a recent turn of events, passengers from Khabarovsk, Russia, have faced delays and cancellations while returning from their holidays in Phuket, Thailand.
The main cause of these disruptions is the suspension of international flights by Russian airlines, such as S7 Airlines, which ceased all international flights in late July 2025. This decision has reduced connections and made it challenging for travelers to secure timely return flights.
Despite the challenges, passengers awaiting flights on or before August 2 have been notified to arrive at the departure airports on time. In a positive development, flight services from Khabarovsk to Ayan and Chumikan are resuming today, August 1. Passenger lists for these dates have also been prepared.
However, the flights from Khabarovsk to Phuket, both on August 1 and today, have departed late due to unspecified reasons. It remains unclear if the weather conditions in Phuket have had any impact on the flight schedule.
The airline has not provided any information about accommodations or meals for passengers affected by these late flights. They have, however, stated that they will communicate any changes through their social media platforms.
It is worth noting that previously, flights to the northern regions were halted due to low cloud cover and rainstorms. In contrast, there is no evidence of problems with Phuket airport infrastructure or local tourist site closures, aside from tourist sites like the Big Buddha being closed due to landslides.
Looking ahead, there is no information available regarding the expected time for the full restoration of the Phuket flight schedule. No additional notifications have been made to passengers for flights beyond August 2.
For those passengers scheduled to fly beyond August 2, it is advisable to stay updated through the airline's official channels for any updates or changes in their flight schedules.
- The late departure of flights from Khabarovsk to Phuket has led to questions about whether the weather conditions in Phuket might be influencing the flight schedules.
- Given the current disruptions in international flights, many travelers heading back from their lifestyle journeys in Phuket might find it hard to maintain their travel plans, as the weather conditions could possibly play a part in the flight delays.
