The interdepartmental working group, responsible for addressing the security issues at the airport in Krasnodar, worked diligently to ensure the safety of passengers and staff. The name of the head of this working group is not publicly available.

The airport's closure was addressed by the same interdepartmental working group, which worked to resolve the security concerns raised. The Russian Ministry of Transport played a crucial role in addressing these issues, ensuring that the airport could safely resume operations.

The airport in Krasnodar resumed operations after being closed for an undisclosed period of time for security reasons. Following the resumption of operations, the airport will continue to operate with the highest standards of safety and security in place.

The plane will return to Moscow from Krasnodar at 11:40 AM, marking another successful day in the resumption of operations at Krasnodar Airport. The airport's reopening is a significant step forward for the region, providing a vital transport link for passengers and businesses alike.
