Rossiya airline, a member of the Aeroflot Group, will cancel a number of flights from Vladivostok, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk to Beijing, a source in the Krasnoyarsk airport told TASS, and another source in the Vladivostok airport confirmed that.

"Rossiya airline had to cancel flights to Beijing from regions (Vladivostok, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk) because it was not in time to make required contracts and fully meet requirements of the Chinese side," the source told TASS, adding that passengers of canceled flights will be transported to Beijing and back on alternative flights.

Three flights, two from Vladivostok and one from Krasnoyarsk, have been canceled to date. Cancellation of a flight from Irkutsk is planned tomorrow, the source added.
