Russia resumed international air travel on Saturday, more than four months after restrictions were imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport was the first in the country to restart international services.

Long lines of passengers were seen waiting to check-in as the flights resumed at Russia's busiest airport.

Ahead of the resumption, authorities announced that unrestricted travel would restart on August 1 to three nations: the United Kingdom, Turkey and Tanzania.

Flights to other countries were also operating under special rules.
