In May 2024, passenger traffic on Russian airlines increased. According to the aviation regulator Rosaviatsia, the number rose to 9,3 million passengers. This represents growth of 6,8 percent compared to the same month last year.
The increased number of passengers indicates a gradual recovery of air traffic in Russia, which could also be supported by various factors such as an improved Covid-19 situation and eased travel restrictions.
According to Rosaviatsia, this increase could also be due to increased demand for domestic and international flights as travel in Russia slowly returns to normal after the challenges of the pandemic. Russian airlines are banking on a recovery in air traffic and hope to see a further increase in passenger numbers in the coming months.
