MOSCOW, August 8. /TASS/. The Krasnodar Airport in South Russia will continue to be closed for flight safety reasons, the press service of the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency, Rosaviatsiya, told TASS.

Information appeared earlier in mass media that the airport may resume operations soon and is recruiting personnel.
