Russia's national carrier Aeroflot reports failure in information systems
'As a result, schedule adjustments for some flights are expected, including delays and cancellations,' Aeroflot said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
The carrier said that 'specialists are currently working to minimize the impact on the flight schedule and to restore normal service operations,' but it did not disclose details on the scale of the failure or possible cause.
The carrier, which despite sanctions imposed on Russia for its war in Ukraine that drastically limited travel and routes, remains among the top 20 worldwide by passenger numbers.
In 2024, passenger traffic of the Aeroflot Group reached 55.3 million passengers, according to a statement on the airline's website.

US sanctions force vessels with Russian oil to divert from India, sources say
NEW DELHI/MOSCOW: At least two vessels loaded with Russian oil bound for refiners in India have diverted to other destinations following new US sanctions, trade sources said, and LSEG trade flows showed. The US Treasury Department this week imposed sanctions on more than 115 Iran-linked individuals, entities, and ships, some of which are involved in transporting Russian oil. US President Donald Trump has urged countries to halt purchases of oil from Moscow, threatening 100 percent tariffs unless Russia agrees to a significant peace deal with Ukraine. Three ships — the Aframaxes Tagor and Guanyin and the Suezmax Tassos — were scheduled to deliver Russian oil to Indian ports this month, trade sources said. All three vessels are under US sanctions. Tagor was bound for Chennai on India's east coast, while Guanyin and Tassos were headed to ports in western India, according to trade sources and Russian ports data. Tighter Western sanctions aimed at cutting Russia's oil revenue, seen as funding its war against Ukraine, have been increasingly hitting Russian oil supplies for India, which buys more than a third of its oil needs from Russia. Tagor is now heading to Dalian in China, while Tassos is diverting to Port Said in Egypt, the data shows. Guanyin remains on course to Sikka, a port used by Reliance Industries and Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd.. Indian Oil Corp, which was to receive the Tagor shipment, and BPCL did not respond to Reuters' emailed requests for comment. Zulu Shipping, linked to Panama-flagged Tassos and Tagor, and Guanyin-owner Silver Tetra Marine could not be reached for comments. Both companies are under US sanctions. A Reliance spokesperson said that 'neither of these two vessels, Guanyin and Tassos, is coming to us.' Reliance has previously purchased oil in Guanyin. Separately, two other vessels, Achilles and Elyte, loaded with Russian oil, are preparing to discharge Russian Urals for Reliance, according to LSEG data. Both these vessels are sanctioned by Britain and the European Union. India has condemned the EU sanctions.

Saudi, Russian Energy Ministers Discuss Oil Market Developments
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting in Riyadh to discuss recent developments in the global oil market and ongoing cooperation between the two countries within the OPEC+ alliance. As co-chairs of the Saudi-Russian Joint Governmental Committee on Trade, Economic, Scientific, and Technical Cooperation, the two officials also reviewed progress since the committee's eighth session, including the launch of direct flights between Saudi Arabia and Russia and the signing of multiple memorandums of understanding in fields such as industry, education, media, and Hajj and Umrah. The meeting also covered ways to boost bilateral trade and expand economic collaboration. Both sides discussed the upcoming ninth session of the joint committee, scheduled to be held in Riyadh on November 6. According to a statement from the Saudi Ministry of Energy, the ministers reaffirmed the importance of coordination on oil production policy under OPEC+. Russian news agency Interfax reported that Novak and Prince Abdulaziz discussed oil market trends and the outlook for deeper cooperation between the two energy producers. Their meeting followed Monday's virtual session of the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), which called for full compliance with output agreements. A separate meeting among eight OPEC+ members is expected this Sunday to decide on a potential oil production increase for September. Goldman Sachs has forecasted that OPEC+ will announce a final production hike of around 550,000 barrels per day for September.
