This is stated on the website of the department.
“In 2023, the Russian Ministry of Transport expects a multiple increase in flights to China and the number of passengers carried between Russia and China,” the report says.
As noted in the ministry, this will be facilitated by the lifting of restrictions on crossing the border of China, introduced during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the restoration of visa-free travel for groups of tourists from the two countries.
Earlier it became known that Russia and China renewed the agreement on visa-free group tourist trips, suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Also, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said that China wants to increase the number of flights to Russia.
