Flight reportedly carrying Snowden lands in Moscow Media reporters work beside a vehicle of the Ecuadorian Embassy in Moscow, June 23, 2013. According to Russian media reports, Snowden arrived in Moscow from Hong Kong on Sunday on a commercial flight and the Ecuadorian ambassador in Moscow was waiting for him at the Sheremetyevo airport. Xinhua/Ding Yuan MOSCOW, June 23 (Xinhua) -- An Aeroflot flight reportedly carrying a former National Security Agency contractor sought by the United States for revealing classified surveillance programs landed at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on Sunday. Flight SU213 from Hong Kong landed at Terminal F at 17:05 Moscow time (1305 GMT), but the airport could not verify reports that Edward Snowden was on the plane, airport press officer Roman Genis told Xinhua. Passengers are required to pass through customs and a passport control zone before entering the arrivals area of the terminal. Some passengers from SU213 flight said they had no idea whether Snowden, 29, was on their plane. The ITAR-Tass news agency quoted an unnamed Aeroflot official as saying Snowden was on Flight SU213. Xinhua reporters saw two cars from the Ecuadorian embassy in Russia parked outside the Moscow airport. One car later left with embassy workers. Since Snowden doesn't have a Russian visa, he likely will stay in the airport terminal until boarding Flight SU150 to Havana, Cuba, and a flight to Caracas, Venezuela, local media reported. Police at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport said earlier they had no plans to detain Snowden if he holds a valid visa. Earlier Sunday, the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of China confirmed that Snowden had left the region.
