Russia has instructed airlines to prevent pilots from capturing photos or videos during flights, according to a report by aviation-focused Telegram channel Aviatorshchina. Transport Ministry officials have issued a directive to airlines, requiring them to inform staff and train flight crews that filming outside the aircraft is now prohibited.
The decision was made in July during a meeting chaired by Deputy Transport Minister Vladimir Poteshkin, who oversees the aviation sector. The discussion centered on flight safety in the Moscow terminal control area, encompassing air traffic around the Russian capital's airports. In late July, the Kremlin-aligned newspaper Kommersant revealed that Rosaviatsiya, Russia's civil aviation agency, had reduced the maximum flight altitude near Moscow airports to 4,900 meters from the previous range of 8,250-8,550 meters.
Additionally, the agency banned transit flights over Moscow and the surrounding Moscow Region, citing safety concerns due to ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure.
