At the weekend Moscow's airports had difficulties due to weather
conditions. Over 100 flights from Domodedovo were postponed on
Saturday and Sunday as a result of problems with energy supplies. Ice
at the Podolsk substations and the village of Volodarskiy broke
electricity powerlines. 8,000 people missed their flights. Energy was
restored at approximately 22.00 on Sunday and registration of internal
flights started at night. However, passengers say that there is still
no information about departure times and the airport's hotline is not
operating.
