Russian domestic flights decreased 10% over past decade
Posted 12/12/2011
Domestic flights in Russia have decreased 10% over past decade in favor of international flights because achieving profitability on domestic routes is difficult, it was announced at the annual meeting of Russian Assn. of Air Transport Operators (AEVT).
Even though the total number of Russian passengers has nearly doubled in the past five years, the country’s 834 flight connections are still small, with airlines linking to only 202 cities. In the last Soviet Union airline schedule in 1992, there were 4,780 connections joining 432 cities via airline routes.
