Key Operational Highlights
In 2024, JSC FPC's passenger turnover will reach 95.8 billion passenger‑km, which will constitute an increase of 4.8% vs. 2023 and 18.0% vs. 2022. In the Company's own trains, the volume of traffic increased to 94.2 billion passenger‑km (104.7% vs. 2023 and 117.8% vs. 2022), including 52.1 billion passenger‑km in the regulated segment (102.6% vs. 2023 and 110.6% vs. 2022) and 42.1 billion passenger‑km in the deregulated segment (107.4% vs. 2023 and 128.1% vs. 2022).
The following factors influenced the growth of passenger traffic volumes:
- Extension of close‑down of southern airports
- Switching of passenger traffic from air to railway transport in a number of destinations
- Growth of transport mobility of the population as a result of the strengthening of the economy of the Russian Federation
- Development of relations with the CIS and Baltic countries
The number of passengers carried totalled 112.7 million, including 62.2 million in the regulated segment and 50.5 million in the deregulated segment. The number of passengers carried rose to 104.3% vs. 2023, and to 117.5% vs. 2022.
Passenger turnover on trains operated by the CIS and Baltic countries totalled 1.6 billion passenger‑km (111.9% vs. 2023 and 129.8% vs. 2022).
The growth in the volume of international traffic was driven by the increased number of regular passenger interstate trains with the Republic of Belarus. The volume of train services with Mongolia, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Tajikistan was maintained at the level of 2023. In addition, year‑round railway service with the PRC and the DPRK was resumed from 15 December 2024.
