Russian Rossiya Airlines, a budget air carrier owned by Aeroflot, has announced that it is scaling back the number of flights to Russia’s Far Eastern cities until May 1 due a slump in demand caused by travel restrictions. The airline’s press service said on Saturday that carrier will only continue to operate flights to Magadan, out of the five other destinations.

“In line with the regional authorities’ decision to suspend flights and because of a general slump in demand for air transportation, the Rossiya carrier suspends [some domestic] flights,” the press release said listing the flights from Moscow to Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
