THE STUDY OF IRREGULARITY OF PASSENGER FLOW IN THE LEADING RUSSIAN AIRPORTS
The article deals with the seasonal unevenness of passenger traffic of sixty-eight airports of Federal importance in Russia. The distribution of airports and passenger traffic in the Federal districts, which revealed significant regional differences, is considered. The article presents the results of the analysis of seasonal fluctuations on international and domestic air routes by month in 2013 and 2015., this allowed us to determine the months with maximum and minimum load for each of the airports under consideration. The coefficients of unevenness of passenger traffic were calculated and the Federal districts and airports with the largest and smallest fluctuations in the volume of passengers were identified. The minimum value of the coefficient of irregularity is typical for the Central Federal district, and the maximum - for the southern Federal district. The results of the comparative analysis of uneven air traffic at the airports of the Central and southern Federal districts are presented.
