12 Август 2022

The number of flights in Moscow is not decreasing, and the number of passengers is even growing. Compared to July 2021, passenger traffic at Moscow airports has recovered almost completely — by 95%. At the same time, airports in July have served 21% or 1.3 million more people than in June.

The most popular domestic summer destinations from Moscow were Sochi, St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad. Passengers from Moscow often fly abroad by Russian airlines to Antalya, Istanbul and Yerevan.

«Moscow feels the holiday season and vacations to the fullest. The number of passengers at Moscow airports has a positive trend. People continue to travel, fly a lot around the country and abroad. This is possible thanks to the operational decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation to support air detachments and airports. Special thanks to Aeroflot for prompt and high-quality work. In July, passenger traffic at Moscow airports almost reached the figures of 2021 and recovered by 68% to the pre-pandemic level», — said Maksim Liksutov, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport.
