Airport in Ulan-Ude Sets New Anniversary Year Passenger Count Record
Flyin' High at Baikal Airport: 2025's May Figures
Hey there! Let's take a look at the sizzling hot stats from Baikal Airport for May 2025. As per their official Telegram channel, they welcomed a whopping 68,504 passengers, representing a 16.6% jump compared to the previous year!
In total, there were 487 aircraft take-offs, marking a 28.2% boost since May 2024.
But wait, here's the real scoop - the most sought-after destinations were Moscow, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Kazan!
Craving more details? Well, April had already seen over 61,000 passengers moving through the airport, leaping by 23% compared to the same period in 2024 (as covered by Baikal-Daily).
Now, if you're wondering about the overall performance in 2024, the airport, under the management of "Novaport," served a total of 749,175 passengers, notching up a 4.7% increase compared to 2023.
Oh, and let's not forget, the swanky new terminal for domestic airlines in Ulan-Ude's heart was opened all the way back in November 2024.
However, it seems recent reports haven't shed light on the current passenger statistics since the opening of the new terminal. Nevertheless, with Russia seeing a 20% leap in domestic tourism bookings to nature-focused regions, there's a strong possibility that the trend is positively impacting Baikal Airport's numbers, though specific data isn't readily available.
So there you have it, peeps! Baikal Airport is buzzing, and it ain't slowing down any time soon!
The increasing numbers at Baikal Airport indicate a growing interest in public-transit, with travel to destinations like Moscow, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Kazan on the rise. This surge in passengers could potentially influence the lifestyle of individuals in these regions, as well as the finance industry given the increase in transportation demand. The potential impact on the industry could be significant, considering the upward trajectory of tourism bookings to nature-focused regions in Russia.
