During the ten months of 2026, passenger traffic at Krasnodar and Sochi airports decreased by 25% compared to last year, report experts from the Stolypin Club. In Russia as a whole, domestic flights lost 7%, and since May the decrease in major airports has reached 10-15%. Only Novosibirsk and Vladivostok remain stable. The opening of the Krasnodar airport did not improve the situation: congestion was recorded even though a year ago only the Sochi airport was actually operating. Restrictions on the operation of Kuban's airports also affected the flow of tourists to the region.
