In 2024, over 120,000 roundtrip passengers traveled between the United States and Russia, despite sanctions prohibiting nonstop flights due to the Ukraine war. This figure translates to approximately 329 daily travelers, a significant decrease from pre-war numbers.
"For obvious reasons, there are few discussions about Russian travel," said the report. It highlighted that while direct flights are banned, people still fly indirectly but not via the EU or UK, where Russian flights are also prohibited.
The data is based on those who booked through tickets; hence, the actual number may be higher as some might have booked separate legs of their journey.
