Baikal Airport reports 12% increase in number of passengers

Russian Aviaton » Monday December 8, 2025 16:22 MSK

The airport in Buryatia's Ulan-Ude reported a 12% increase in the number of passengers in 2025, where the increase is more than twice the national average, the Baikal International Airport's CEO Dmitry Garmaev told TASS.

"The year 2025 is coming to an end. We understand that the Baikal Airport in Ulan-Ude will serve 843,000 passengers this year. The increase against 2024 is by 12%. The rate is impressive, higher than the Russian industry's average, which is about 5%," he said.

These results are due to Buryatia's growing economy - developing tourism, bigger numbers of visitors to Lake Baikal, implementation of new investment projects, stronger business ties, including international ones. Local residents have been flying more often to other regions for holidays, study, and work. The government subsidizes socially significant routes, listed for the Far Eastern Federal District.

The airport has expanded the route network to 17 destinations, including international ones, and has undergone an unprecedented renovation.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
