The transport infrastructure ensures transferring tourists
and vacationers to the coast of the Black Sea of the Kras-
nodar Region - the main sanatorium-and-health-resort of
the federal importance which is annually visited by more
than 14 mln tourists, as well as serves transit cargo flows
performed in the framework of the Russian export activi-
ty, including oil export.
T
he Krasnodar Region can
boast an extremely bene-
ficial geographic location
which allows creating convenient
logistics. There are 9 year-round
seaports in the Krasnodar Region
(two of them are among TOP 3
ports by cargo turnover in Russia)
that provide transfer of more than
200 mln tonnes of cargos per year.
The region is the largest transport
hub: it has direct access to the in-
ternational ways of foreign trade
to Europe, The Mediterranean, the
Middle East and Central Asia. It al-
lows the processing of about 30%
of foreign trade and transit cargos
in Russia.
Two large-scale projects on the
development of the transport in-
frastructure are implemented in
the Krasnodar Region (Taman set-
tlement and Novorossiysk) that
will allow creating the biggest port
agglomeration with a significant
export and transit potential in the
country.
An extensive network of motor-
ways and railways is created on
the territory of the region. The
Krasnodar Region holds one of
leading positions in the Russian
Federation by the number, density
and quality of motorways (447 km
of motorways per 1,000 sq. km)
with a total length of about 40
Kkm.
Branches of motorway routes of 2
international transport corridors
North-South (NS) and Transsib
(TS), as well as railway routes of
the federal importance lie over the
territory of the Krasnodar Region.
The total length of them is 2,200
km (33% of the SFD and 2.5% of
Russia).
Passenger and cargo air transpor-
tation in the region is performed
through international airports of
federal importance in Krasnodar
(Pashkovsky), Sochi (Adler), Ana-
pa (Vityazevo), and Gelendzhik
for domestic airlines. The average
daily flying intensity in summer
achieves 50 pair flights, and their
maximum amount falls on the end
of August up to 70. The aver-
age number of flights to the Sochi
airport is 55, to Krasnodar - 45,
to Anapa 25, to Gelendzhik - 10.
The aggregate traffic flow in air-
ports of Kuban is over 10 mln pas-
sengers per year.
Currently, the main volume of pas-
senger and cargo air transporta-
tion is performed through airports
of Krasnodar and Sochi (83% of
the total amount of transporta-
tions). About 7% of all passenger
air transportation in Russia falls on
the Krasnodar Region.
In total, there are more than 40
air companies that carry out
flights to the Krasnodar Region,
and 20 of them provide the
main volume of transportation
in historically formed regular di-
rections connecting airports of
the territory with Moscow, Saint
Petersburg, the largest cities of
Ural, Siberia, the Far East, CIS
countries, neighbouring coun-
tries and beyond. As for inter-
national traffic, passengers are
transported to most countries
of neighbouring countries and
beyond, Asian countries of the
Middle East, and Western Europe.
Most of the flights are carried
out using comfortable aircrafts
of foreign manufacture, such as
Boeing 737-500, 737-800, and
Airbus 319, 320, as well as Rus-
sian aeroplanes SSJ 100 (Sukhoi
Super Jet), Tu-204/214. The main
Russian airlines that carry out
flights to the airports of the ter-
ritory are: Aeroflot, Rossiya, S7
Airlines, Ural Airlines, Utair, Pobe-
da, Nordavia, Red Wings, Royal-
Flight, Alrosa, Nord Wind, UVT
AERO, Yamal, Yakutia. The main
foreign air carriers: Austrian Air-
lines, Belavia, Mahan Air, Pegasus,
SomonAir, FlyDubai, Uzbekista-
nAirways, Turkish Airlines.
Currently, rail operation in the
Krasnodar Region is provided
by long-distance trains (Fed-
eral Passenger Company JSC)
and suburban trains (Kuban Ex-
press-Prigorod OJSC, North
Caucasus Suburban Passenger
Company JSC). The length of
railroads in the region is 2,200
km or 34.5% of all the length of
the North Caucasus Railway. The
suburban railway network of the
Krasnodar Region consists of 43
routes of regular rail links that
are daily operated by about 80
pairs of trains: 20 pairs of them
are highly comfortable Lastoch-
ka electrical trains that operate
across the territory of the Sochi
landfill. The number of passengers
transported by railway transport
amounted to 19,468,700 people
in 2017, including 8,138,600 pas-
sengers of long-distance trains
and 11,330,100 passengers of
suburban trains.
