International traffic dropped 26.7% to 17m, domestic increased 6.6% to 31.1m. The international traffic decrease was because of a flight ban to Egypt and a charter flight ban to Turkey. The relaunch of Turkey charter flights was announced in early July after Russia’s president Vladimir Putin told the govt to resume selling packaged holidays to Turkey, but the final decision was postponed to the end of August. The top 5 Russian carriers reported traffic increases from January-July despite the total downturn. <br/>
