The World Cup is estimated to bring an additional 3.5 million visitors to Russia, many of whom will travel by air. While the World Cup will boost visitors, especially for the months around the competition, Russia will have to match the mass increase in volume.

With Russia's already booming air travel economy, as capacity grew by over 18 million seats in 2017, it'll be interesting to see how the country handles the increased demand.
