Dec 04, 2014 (newstodate): Political unrest over Russia and its relations to neighboring countries reflects also in the statistics on overflights by international carriers.
In the first three months of this year, the volume of overflights over Russian territory still grew by 2.99 percent, y-o-y, but after the annexation of Crimea the situation changed.
Thus, the volume of overflights during April 2014 the volume fell by 2.30 percent, and in June by 3.77 percent.
In January-October 2014, the total volume of international overflights dropped 6.75 percent, y-o-y, as carrier increasingly find alternatives to routing through unsafe airspace.
The falling number of overflights by international carriers adds another drain on Russia's economy by the shortfall of airnav charges and other revenues from the traffic.
