Currently, most flights are operated to Egypt. The increase in air transportation to Africa is hampered by a shortage of wide-body airliners, which are used on flights to the Russian Far East and Southeast Asia.
[We need to] consider the possibility of creating an international air hub based at the airport of one of the African countries, for organizing transit air transportation and international transfer passenger traffic by a large base Russian air carrier or an alliance of Russian air carriers.
Kenya, the Seychelles, and Tanzania are among the most popular African countries among Russians with the fastest-growing tourist flow.
