Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
Passenger traffic (closed southern airports) currently reads 80 % of 2021, mapping to a stress of 50/100 — moderate pressure.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via official statistics; confidence — medium. How it is derived: Rosaviatsia; southern airport closures depress traffic.
History is accumulating since launch — a chart appears once enough daily readings pile up.

| 2026-07 (Jan–Jul) | 59.8 | 100 |
| current (RCI) | 80 | 50 |
Longest defensible public series behind this metric — annual, open sources. Reconstructed context, not the live value; no interpolation. Sources: Rosaviatsia via TAdviser — 2025 passenger traffic 111.3 mln (+5%) · Interfax — Jan–Jul 2026 traffic 59.8 mln (-3.8%); July -6.5%
