Passenger turnover of Russian airlines decreased by 4% in the last month.

According to the information received, in February 2015 of the year, Russian air carriers served 5 million 120 thousands of passengers, moreover, this figure is 200 thousand less than the same period last year. According to experts, this is primarily due to the fact that the majority of Russian air carriers, in order to stabilize their activities, have optimized the routes through which they fly, reducing their frequency, or removing them from the timetable altogether. In addition, it is also worth considering the fact that the crisis economic situation in the country is also a problem for passengers who start to fly less.

According to some reports, in March, the situation in the air transport market should stabilize.
