contents We report results of systematic investigation of dynamics featured by moving two-dimensional (2D) solitons generated by the fractional nonlinear Schroedinger equation (FNLSE) with the cubic-quintic nonlinearity. The motion of solitons is a nontrivial problem, as the fractional diffraction breaks the Galilean invariance of the underlying equation. The addition of the defocusing quintic term to the focusing cubic one is necessary to stabilize the solitons against the collapse. The setting presented here can be implemented in nonlinear optical waveguides emulating the fractional diffraction. Systematic consideration identifies parameters of moving fundamental and vortex solitons (with vorticities 0 and 1 or 2, respectively) and maximum velocities up to which stable solitons persist, for characteristic values of the Levy index which determines the fractionality of the underlying model. Outcomes of collisions between 2D solitons moving in opposite directions are identified too. These are merger of the solitons, quasi-elastic or destructive collisions, and breakup of the two colliding solitons into a quartet of secondary ones.
