OREANDA-NEWS  The airline Red Wings linked the delay of Russian tourists in Turkey for two days with Western sanctions in the aviation industry. The corresponding letter was sent by the director of the carrier Evgeny Solodilin to customers, its content leads URA.Ru .

Thus, the message says that the difficulties are primarily related to the repair of aircraft, including restrictions on the supply of foreign spare parts. At the same time, the head of the airline noted that in this case "this is not a sufficient and exhaustive explanation."

Earlier it was reported that Yekaterinburg residents could not fly from Antalya due to the delay of the Red Wings airline flight. The flight was scheduled for 21:30 on August 12. Passengers were accommodated at the hotel, food and drinks were offered.

Tourists who were supposed to fly with Red Wings to Moscow also faced a delay. The flight was postponed several times, and passengers complained about the terrible stuffiness on the plane.

Red Wings explained the delay of flights WZ-3061 and WZ-3062 from Antalya to Yekaterinburg by a technical malfunction of two Boeing-777 aircraft. To return passengers to Russia, the carrier requested an additional board from the airline "Icarus".
