Russian national airline Aeroflot has reinstated direct flights between Moscow and Tehran, following a months-long suspension prompted by regional instability caused by a 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel.

Russian airline Aeroflot canceled dozens of flights on Monday due to a failure in its information systems, causing disruption across its network.

Aeroflot flight SU2131, traveling from Istanbul to Moscow, was forced to make an emergency landing in Astrakhan, southern Russia, due to a technical problem, the airline has confirmed.

The captain of an Aeroflot aircraft operating the Moscow (SVO) to Dubai route requested an emergency landing at Baku's Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
