Oct 2, 2006 (newstodate): Russian aviation authorities have closed an airport due to lack of operating certificates.
Russia's air safety rate has deteriorated in 2006, and the country has experienced more than 300 lives lost in air accidents so far this year.
Airlines and airports are now being investigated for potential air safety deficiencies, including lack of certificates, forged documents and illegal use of counterfeit aircraft spare parts and components.
If found deficient, airlines and airports may be forced to halt operations, as is the case with Elista Airport, Kalmykia, that has been closed due to serious safety breaches.
