Belarusian Passengers Stranded in Moscow After Flight Cancellations MOSCOW, RUSSIA – May 28, 2025 – Dozens of Belarusian passengers found themselves stranded at Moscow's Domodedovo airport on May 27th after their flight to Minsk was canceled due to drone attacks. The incident caused significant disruption and frustration among travelers. The airline, Belavia, offered alternative flights, but a limited number of seats left many without immediate options. One passenger, Oleg Petrov, stated, "We were told our flight was canceled due to security concerns, and then we were left scrambling for alternative arrangements." The airline's response has been criticized for its lack of adequate support for stranded passengers, who were only offered refunds. Many passengers opted to make their own way home, choosing train travel at their own expense. The increasing frequency of flight cancellations from Moscow highlights the ongoing challenges for air travel in the region. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of comprehensive travel insurance and contingency planning for unforeseen circumstances.
