S7 Airlines, in particular, has seen full capacity on flights to Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, and Saint Petersburg from Gelendzhik Airport. It has been reported that some of these airlines will continue to operate flights during the autumn-winter period.

The Ministry of Transport of Russia has reported the daily operation of aircraft at Gelendzhik Airport, with flights taking place during daylight hours, from 08:30 to 20:00 Moscow time. It is planned to serve over 125,000 passengers at Gelendzhik Airport this year.
