On March 29, the entire Russian Civili Aviation Authority website went offline. Hackers are saying they managed it, Russian media is saying it is down to restructuring.<\/p>\n
Either way the website currently isn\u2019t available, so if you need to get in touch it will have to be via good old fashioned postal service or AFTN.<\/p>\n
www.favt.ru<\/a> currently isn\u2019t responding. This is the \u2018Rosaviatsia\u2019 Federal Agency for Air Transport<\/strong> site which manages civil aviation across Russia.<\/p>\n www.scaa.ru<\/a> also doesn\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n AvHerald reported<\/a> that the site has been hacked, and all backup data also erased.<\/p>\n With few external operators flying in and out of Russia it might not mean much right now. However, if you are trying to fly in or contact them then this may pose issues for you until they get their site back up and running.<\/p>\n Things like permissions and permits<\/strong> will undoubtedly take longer to get hold of.<\/p>\n Whether there will be any further indirect impact on other aviation related service within Russia is not yet clear.<\/p>\n Contact via post of AFTN are your best bets, but you can try calling as well. It isn\u2019t clear if email will be available.<\/p>\n Telephone: <\/b>+7 499 231 5237<\/p>\n Email: <\/b>aviapermit.scaa.ru<\/a> \/ rusavia@scaa.ru<\/a> \/ permit@matfmc.ru<\/a><\/p>\n AFTN: <\/b>UUUKYAYX \/ UUUKZXTD<\/p>\n SITA: <\/b>MOWYAYA \/ MOWICYA<\/p>\n Address<\/b>: 125993, GSP-47, Moscow, Leningrad Prospekt, 37, building 2<\/p>\nWhat does this mean?<\/h4>\n
