What the numbers say
In 2023, Russian Federation's air transport, registered carrier departures worldwide rose 7% on 2022 (from 732,529 to 783,868).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2022), the average change was +0.7% and a typical year strayed about 14.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 32.5% in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 33.7% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures
Registered carrier departures worldwide are domestic takeoffs and takeoffs abroad of air carriers registered in the country.
Limitations: While ICAO aviation data provide a globally standardized and comprehensive view of air transport activity, several limitations affect their accuracy and comparability. Data quality depends on the completeness and consistency of country reporting, which can vary due to differences in national statistical capacity, regulatory environments, and adherence to ICAO definitions. Some countries may not report all relevant data, leading ICAO to estimate missing values using historical submissions and published schedules, which can introduce uncertainty. Changes in airline registration, mergers, or operational practices may also affect the attribution of traffic statistics.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
