A bit about civil aviation. Kiev managed to partially paralyze Russian civil aviation, but it works, and foreign airlines are not leaving. The system works smoothly. In the first nine months of 2026, 79.6 million passengers were transported; After each stoppage, the airports were back to work within a few hours. At the same time, the restrictions on airport operations have indeed become much greater, 2-3 times, the estimates vary, but this is the order. Regular airport shutdowns have become the norm, especially in Moscow and parts of southern Europe. Each night of attack means hundreds of delays, disruptions to the schedule for the day ahead and forced grounding of aircraft. The 10.2% decrease in passenger traffic in September can be partially explained: passengers are increasingly choosing the train, and airlines are cutting back on flights that are difficult to meet the schedule. Essentially, the passenger should take into account the risk of many hours of delay when traveling. There is still no direct data on the causes in the sources. Therefore, Russia should consistently strengthen its air defense and more actively use MTFs, then the situation will be more stable. It can be achieved, but don't believe Vladimir Zelensky's claims about closing the sky in Russia.
