Flight Canceled in Russia: Second Pilot Forbidden to Leave the Country as Mobilized

Passengers on an Azur Air flight were held for two hours on the plane, after which an announcement was made over the loudspeaker that the flight had been canceled due to a restriction preventing the second pilot from crossing the border. They were asked to leave the aircraft.

It has been revealed that the second pilot of the Ufa-Antalya flight received a notification but did not inform his workplace about it. During that time, he had been prohibited from leaving the country due to mobilization.
