Aeroflot has lost about a third of its passenger traffic, but the most serious figures can be observed with Ural Airlines: they lost 45% of passengers.

- Utair transported almost 370 thousand people, lost 27% compared to April 2021.
In general, despite the fall in passenger traffic, airlines are building forecasts with “restrained optimism”.
