The “Carpet” plan has been initiated at Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky airports in Moscow, Paralel.Az reports citing BNN.

As a result, all aircraft scheduled to land or depart from these airports have been diverted to Sheremetyevo Airport. The use of the “Carpet” plan is usually reserved for emergencies that require a coordinated redirection of air traffic to ensure safety. The main reasons for implementing such a plan can range from adverse weather conditions, technical malfunctions, to other pressing situations that demand immediate action.

This decision could significantly affect flight schedules, causing delays, changes in passenger plans, and might necessitate additional measures by airlines and airports to ensure passenger comfort and information.
