I got this today from International SOS (who my company partners with to provide travel advisories):
So, if you are looking to fly Aerosvit (VV) and fly to SVO, you might consider rebooking with another airline and if you're flying Aerosvit anywhere else, get some backup plans in place in case these issues spread.
Ukraine: Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport to stop handling Aerosvit flights from 10 December
Personnel scheduled to fly with Aerosvit to Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport (Russia, SVO) should contact the airline, as the facility has announced that it intends to stop handling flights operated by the airline from 10 December. The decision is reportedly related to Aerosvit's financial problems and its failure to pay its fees to Sheremetyevo airport. The airline – one of the country's flag carriers – operates daily flights to Sheremetyevo from the capital Kyiv's Boryspil International Airport ( KBP) and Dnepropetrovsk International Airport (DNK). Meanwhile, media reports indicate that the airline on 5 December cancelled five flights from Boryspil airport to Moscow, Tbilisi and Batumi (both Georgia) and Minsk (Belarus), though the precise reasons for this remain unclear.
Travel Advice
Personnel already booked to fly with Aerosvit to Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport on or after 10 December are advised to contact the airline for further information on flight schedules. Please note that we do not hold information on specific flights.
Expect heightened demand for flights operated by other carriers on the affected routes. Consider making bookings with other carriers to minimise inconvenience.
