Dear colleagues!
Please be advised that due to new federal regulations of the airspace of the Russian Federation, tougher requirements for permit issue for the use of air space in non-international airports of Russia come into force.
For your reference please see below FAP article #121 “Flights of foreign aircraft outside the international airways”:
It is necessary to use escort crew service for flights of foreign aircraft outside the international airways, along domestic routes, when using aerodromes not approved for international flights and also during flights to aerodromes specified in the special list and published in part III “Aerodrome (AD)” section AD 1.4 of the AIP of the Russian Federation. The request for such flight must be submitted not later than 14 (fourteen) working days before flight operation excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays of the Russian Federation. An applicant shall be notified about agreed conditions and peculiarities of the flight operation via CDOS CA.
RusAero hereby acknowledge that in view of stricter rules (namely the necessity to apply for additional Federal Security & Ministry of Defense approvals) all measures will be taken to ensure timely permit obtaining, but we can not guarantee this in case of urgent request. According to the Russian Federation AIP the request for flights of foreign aircraft outside the international airways or using aerodromes not approved for international flights is to be submitted 14 days before the flight operations.
I´ve checked the Russian AIP and found these airports to be the international ones:
