Minsk Airport, which has grown through ‘sanctions busting’, declines to say how many of its passengers travel between Ukraine and Russia, reports the Center for Transportation Strategies. In October, 2015, Russia and Ukraine ended direct flights. Since then, over all traffic at Minsk Airport has grown by one third, to 4.5 million last year. The airport declined to tell the Center how many passengers fly to Minsk on the new direct flights from Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Kyiv’s two airports. It does say that half of its passengers fly to Moscow and that Kyiv is the airport’s second busiest destination.
