Frequent temporary closures of Moscow's major airports (Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and others) have been driven primarily by Russian aviation authorities imposing flight restrictions during Ukrainian drone incursions targeting the capital region. In June 2026 alone, multiple multi-hour suspensions occurred on June 18 and June 22 amid reported waves of drones, with air defense intercepts and evacuations at terminals cited as the direct triggers. These incidents align with an ongoing pattern of airspace measures tied to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as noted in U.S. Embassy advisories on August 7 highlighting repeated security-related halts. Recent diplomatic and airline responses, such as EL AL's temporary suspension of Tel Aviv-Moscow routes, reflect trader focus on escalation risks that could prompt further restrictions before any resolution deadlines.
