Avinode also generated lists of the 10 most requested airports for passengers flying in Europe, the Middle East, North America and the rest of the world. The results are shown in the graph at right. Over the past 12 months, there was little change from the rankings from the previous 12 months. Somewhat amazingly, Moscow, Communism’s former global capital, is shown as accounting for more trip requests than New York, Los An­geles, London and Paris combined, but these are requests (not flights made) so possibly this reflects nothing more than the curiosity of the newly enriched. In fact, Avinode explained that Russian brokers tend to post more flight requests per flight made than their counterparts elsewhere and that this, combined with genuine growing interest in business aviation in the country, explains the apparent anomaly.
