“Sochi Airport is a hospitable and dynamically developing air hub in the south of Russia. In 2022, the airport received a 4‑star rating according to the results of a study by the world's largest consulting company Skytrax. At the end of 2023, according to the ACI report, Sochi became the fastest-recovering airport in the world after the COVID‑19 pandemic, among air harbors with passenger traffic from 5 to 15 million passengers per year. I am sure that cooperation with the southern aviation hub of Russia will provide new opportunities for your business. See you at the forum!”
“Sochi annually attracts more and more tourists from Russia and various cities around the world. Passenger traffic has more than doubled over the past 5 years. We currently work with 31 carriers, including 10 foreign ones. Direct flights connect Sochi with 56 Russian and 19 foreign cities. We are open to cooperation and will be happy to introduce the whole world to the resort capital of Russia!”
