May 12, 2020 (newstodate): One Russian airport thriving on the race among airlines to bring PPE shipments from China to Europe is Krasnoyarsk Int'l Airport.
While passenger traffic has come to a virtual stop, traffic volumes are soaring when it comes to western and CIS airlines engaging in all-cargo operations with passenger aircraft, requiring a technical and fueling stop on flights between Europe and China.
Krasnoyarsk Airport has thus seen the volume of all-cargo aircraft movements growing by 208 percent during this year's first quarter.
In March 2020 alone, the airport set a new record with 300 all-cargo and freighter flight movements, up 279 percent, y-o-y.
