What were the immediate consequences of the implementation of "Plan Kover" in Russian airports due to the threat of Ukrainian drone attacks?

Plan Kover," a measure halting all air traffic due to airspace threats (usually enemy drones), was activated in several Russian airports, including Nizhny Novgorod, Sochi, Kaluga, and Pskov, causing significant flight disruptions and impacting thousands of passengers. Over 250 flights were canceled in Sheremetyevo and Pulkovo alone, and passengers in Nizhny Novgorod's Strigino airport faced delays exceeding 20 hours.
