Passenger traffic at Kuban airports in 2026 decreased by a quarter.

Passenger traffic at Krasnodar and Sochi airports for ten months of 2026 decreased by 25%. This was reported by experts from the Stolypin Club.

The decrease in passenger traffic in Russia as a whole amounted to 7%, and since May - 10-15%. The only airports that are stable in terms of passenger traffic are Novosibirsk and Vladivostok.

"If we talk about the Krasnodar and Sochi airports, then despite the opening of the Krasnodar airport, the traffic decreased by 25% compared to the previous year. This is a ten-month delay, when last year only the Sochi airport actually operated," one of the experts pointed out.
