Suspension of scheduled international flights and quarantine restrictions in Russia influenced the decline in traffic indicators. In Q3 and Q4, domestic traffic showed a significant recovery, and in the international segment flights were resumed to Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Maldives, Egypt, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and a number of other countries, however, in general, international traffic remained significantly limited. In Q4 the impact of the pandemic on airlines complemented the seasonal decline in demand.
