Airline passenger traffic fell by almost 17% due to the closure of airports in southern Russia. The Ministry of Transport had a figure of 100 million people per year, but the companies transported only 95 million.

In 2022, airlines transported 95 million people against a forecast of 100 million people. In 2021, passenger traffic amounted to 111 million people, that is, the drop for the year reached almost 17%. According to Savelyev, the reason for the decrease in passenger traffic was the closure of airports in the southern part of Russia.
