After Russian President Vladimir Putin announced partial mobilization, Russian state-owned airline company Aeroflot restricted the sale of tickets abroad to men aged 18-65 against the efforts of Russian male citizens' going abroad. According to the announcement made by the company; a travel authorization card issued by the Ministry of Defense will be requested from the individuals during sale of tickets to male citizens in this age range. Tickets will not be sold to those who cannot present the said card. With Putin's declaration of partial mobilization, demand to plane tickets for Russian male to go abroad inreased dramatically and they were sold out in a short time. It was reported that there were no tickets left, especially for countries that do not require a visa. It has been announced that this decision of Aeroflot will also cover those who buy tickets and wait for their flight.
