One web search result mentions that Russian airlines carried more than 900,000 passengers in the first seven months of 2026. While this is close to the 'more than 1 million' claim for combined airlines, it is a single source and refers to a specific timeframe (2026) that may be the 'current year' mentioned in the claim, but it does not explicitly confirm the '1 million' combined total.
