The global Microsoft outage did not affect Russia, and airlines continue to operate.

🛡 The global outage that paralyzed the operations of airlines and airports worldwide has not yet impacted Russia. Domestic carriers continue to operate flights, and no issues with ticket booking or registration have been observed.

"The outage did not affect Domodedovo Airport. In case it affects the airport's partners, Domodedovo can offer a backup registration system called 'Astra,' which is entirely Russian," stated one of the country's largest air hubs.

🌍 At the same time, widespread outages are being observed in the United States, Germany, Australia, and several other countries around the world. It is known that:

📌 Major airlines such as American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta have suspended flights in the United States.

📌 Turkish Airlines is experiencing problems with booking and ticket purchases.

📌 Flight delays are expected in Spain, and Berlin Airport temporarily ceased operations due to technical issues.

📌 In Australia, telecommunications operators, banks, and local airlines have been affected by the outage.

✔️ While many countries around the world have faced significant disruptions in the operations of airlines and airports, Russia feels confident due to its internal systems successfully replacing Western counterparts. Sanctions imposed by the collective West have spurred the development of Russian technologies and professionals across all industries.

🇷🇺 🌸On a sunny day, a boat takes you along a narrow waterway, with lotuses on both sides—a place that impresses with its beauty!

🔖 It's hard to believe, but the "Valley of Lotuses" was created manually by the Cossacks! Over 200 years ago, there was a problem with fresh water in this area.

💧 The issue was due to the presence of the salty Ahtanizovsky Liman. The locals dug a canal from the Kuban River to solve this pressing issue. It is at the point where the Kazachiy Eriс connects with the liman that lotuses grow.

📸 The valley blooms in Anapa (small resort town in Russia), from July to September. Therefore, for the best shot, it's ideal to come here early in the morning when the valley is covered in a light mist and dew appears on the flowers.

🛬 Passengers of an Air India plane that made an emergency landing in Krasnoyarsk are being fed specially prepared meals, showcasing Siberian hospitality.

🍚 🍖 Most of the tourists turned out to be vegans, so the chefs created a double menu — one with meat and one without. In the footage, Americans and Indians can be seen joyfully enjoying their hot meals.

"We specially prepare rice for them to eat. The first meal that was served overnight had a meat dish, and many refused it. So now we have slightly adjusted and are providing everyone with food," airport officials reported.
