At the same time, air carriers continue to transport tourists to closed foreign resorts, using passenger-and-freight flights as a loophole. Their implementation does not formally fall under the current prohibitions. In June, Rostourism, following the Federal Air Transport Agency, threatened violating airlines with the cancellation of admission to conduct cargo-passenger flights.

All passengers arriving at airports are divided into four categories depending on the epidemiological status assigned to their state.

In accordance with the requirements applicable to it, Russians must: present the results of a test for COVID-19 taken by PCR, made no earlier than 72 hours before departure; pass a similar test upon arrival on the island at their own expense; observe self-isolation until the result of the second test is received.

United States  - present a certificate in English with a negative result of a PCR test for coronavirus, made no earlier than three days before the flight, or a document stating that the person had been ill with COVID-19 and recovered 90 days before the flight. For the vaccinated, you need to pass a coronavirus test in 3-5 days, for the unvaccinated, self-isolate for seven days and pass a coronavirus test.

Since June 22, Russia has resumed flights to Turkish resorts. Air communication with them was suspended in April due to a sharp increase in the incidence of COVID-19 in this country.

Earlier, the headquarters proposed to increase the number of flights with Austria, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Greece, Qatar, Finland, Croatia and Switzerland. Russia limited the number of flights to other countries in March 2020 due to the risk of the spread of the coronavirus. Gradually, the Russian authorities began to resume international flights in the summer of the same year.

According to the Federal Tourism Agency, 51 countries remain open to Russians by mid-June, including Belarus, Hungary, Venezuela, Vietnam, Germany, Egypt, and Japan. A number of them are still not ready to receive tourists or there are strict restrictions for them.
