Tourists from the Russian Federation are stuck in Mauritius due to the closure of the UAE airspace

Tourists from Russia found themselves in a difficult situation on the island of Mauritius due to the closure of the airspace of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Izvestia publishes relevant footage on March 1.

It is specified that the flight was originally scheduled to take place at 10:00 Moscow time. However, after the passengers had been on board the plane for three hours, they had to wait at the airport for some time, but they did not receive any information about the reason for the delay.

"No one knows anything, there is no information. Already 20 thousand steps were found at the airport. It's not clear where to just stay," Maria, a tourist, shared with Izvestia.

The passengers were later sent to the hotel, where they are currently awaiting check-in. They were also given vouchers for meals. The footage from the airport shows a lot of people crowding in queues waiting for information about delayed flights.
