Finland received a flight from Hurghada to St. Petersburg that was unable to land in Russia because the airport was closed
A Red Sea Airlines plane flying from Hurghada to St. Petersburg landed earlier at Helsinki Airport, the Finnish Border Guard reported.

After refueling, the plane was able to continue its flight.
