Ukrainian long-range drone strikes targeting the Moscow region have repeatedly triggered Russian air defense responses, activating the “Carpet” emergency protocol that imposes temporary restrictions on arrivals and departures at Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky airports. In early September 2026, operations at Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo were suspended for consecutive nights amid large-scale drone incursions, producing widespread delays, cancellations, and diversions. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s September 1 warning that Russian airspace poses escalating risks to civil aviation, followed by an official ICAO notification, prompted several carriers to cancel or reroute Moscow flights on safety grounds. These developments reflect sustained conflict dynamics in which intensified Ukrainian drone activity directly intersects with Russian aviation procedures, shaping trader assessments of further disruptions through late 2026.

The relevant airports are:
- Sheremetyevo (SVO);
- Domodedovo (DME); and
- Vnukovo (VKO).
A qualifying suspension refers to official flight restrictions suspending both departures and arrivals at all three airports for any amount of time. Such suspensions may be issued as one singular order or separate notices, provided suspensions of arrivals and departures are concurrently in effect at all three airports between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Suspensions described as "temporary restrictions on arrivals and departures" at the relevant airports by Russian authorities will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be official communications from the Russian government and Russian aviation authorities, including the Rosaviatsiya federal air transport agency; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
