Where is the others big airports of Russia?

[zeroplus]

Tel me, please, where is the others big airports of Russia -  Ufa, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, and the others -Perm, Nizhnevartovsk, Minvody? All these airports have the international status and give to airlines the high passengers demand.I think that game realism is very low without the complete list of the airports of Russia.

Probably Sami needs the inside information from Russia. Maybe you can give the necessary information?

I have some, not added yet to db.

I have paid attention to Russia too. Level of a reality in game for Russia is no more than 40 %. Besides there are some errors in names of the airports and cities. The passenger demand between some the airports is incorrect in most cases. I've sent all correct data to Sami. I hope, it will correct as soon as possible.

Sorry for getting up this old thread.

I'm currently based at Domodedowo (Beginner#5) and there are some things that attracted attention to me.

Pax demang in 1993 (I started end december '92) seems ok. Collapse of the Soviet Union, big crisis in Russia. But now it's 1996 and the demand is like 1992/93.

For example, the most occupied routes are:

St Petersburg - 590 per day, no first, very few business
ParisCDG - 720, relations first/business seems ok
NY-JFK - 460, relations first/business seems ok

There are four to five domestic airports in Russia with a demand ~200 (Ufa, Perm, Nizhny...) but no route worldwide with a demand >1000. The highest demand are 720 (ParisCDG), some 600 (Amsterdam, Frankfurt) and 500 (Los Angeles, New York JFK) in 1996, in 1993 ParisCDG and LA were at ~420 for example.

I can't imagine, this is the true demand. Compared to other countries with domestic demand 1000 (Spain Malaga-Palma, no one flew there before me; other small countries) to 12000.
It's very hard to be based in Moscow. The demand from Sheremetyevo to int. long-haul isn't really higher.

Hope you understand this is no "whining", I'm no Russian or fan of this country, I'm based there, because it was the only big city known to mehr without big competition But I made these experiences and want to share it with you and maybe sami.

in game russian domestic demand is really low compared to reality. I'm not russian, but I know for sure that domestic traffic in russia is big!

Other comparable situations are china and india, where demand is only actually probably 10% of what it is today

The domestic demand in Russia is largely funded by the government, so the demand IRL is not so high, just the capacity.

Not to mention while there might be many route pairs.... Many flight are only flown several times a week.

Besides that, most of the large airports are included.
However, I do agree that there needs to be a collection of some more airports and route data.
