In December 2020 Russian airlines carried 5 million passengers, a 43 per cent decline on the same month in ‘pre-crisis’ 2019. The RPKs were 56 per cent less at 10 billion, according to preliminary report by Russia’s aviation authority Rosaviatsiya.

In the last month of 2020 none of Russia’s largest airlines managed to outperform its December 2019 results. In December – as well as in the previous eight months since April – privately owned S7 Airlines led the market. It served 1.12 million passengers during the month, down 14 per cent year-on-year. Its state-owned rival Aeroflot carried 1.02 million passengers, its traffic plunged 63 per cent on December 2019. Aeroflot’s low-cost division Pobeda Airlines served 856,800 passengers, a four per cent decline year-on-year. Rossiya Airlines, also part of Aeroflot Group, was down 43 per cent, to 324,800 passengers. Fifth largest, Yekaterinburg-based privately-run Ural Airlines served 287,300 passengers, down 56 per cent on December 2019.
