Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport (Russian: Международный аэропорт Шереметьево имени А. С. Пушкина, IPA: [ʂɨrʲɪˈmʲetʲjɪvə] Mezhdunarodny aeroport Sheremetyevo imeni A. S. Pushkina) (IATA: SVO, ICAO: UUEE) is one of four international airports that serve the city of Moscow. It is the busiest airport in Russia, as well as the thirteenth-busiest airport in Europe. Originally built as a military airbase, Sheremetyevo was converted into a civilian airport in 1959.^[2] The airport was originally named after a nearby village, and a 2019 contest extended the name to include the name of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.^[3]

The airport comprises six terminals: four international terminals (one under construction), one domestic terminal, and one private aviation terminal.^[2][4] It is located 29 km (18 mi) northwest of central Moscow, in the city of Lobnya, Moscow Oblast.^[5]

In 2017, the airport handled about 40.1 million passengers and 308,090 aircraft movements. During 2018, the airport reported a 14.3% increase in passengers for a total of 45.8 million.^[6] There was also a 15.9% increase in aircraft traffic year over year.^[7] Sheremetyevo serves as the main hub for Russian flag carrier Aeroflot and its branch Rossiya Airlines; Nordwind Airlines and its branch Pegas Fly; and Ural Airlines.^[8]

HistoryEdit

Soviet eraEdit

The airport was originally built as a military airfield called Sheremetyevsky (Шереметьевский), named after a village of the same name, as well as the Savelov station on the railway of the same name. The decree for the construction of the Central Airdrome of the Air Force near the settlement of Chashnikovo (Чашниково) on the outskirts of Moscow was issued on 1 September 1953 by the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. The airport became operational on 7 November 1957 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution.^[9][10]

In August 1959, the Council of Ministers made a decree to terminate the airbase’s use for military purposes, where it would be handled over to the Principal Directorate of the Civil Air Fleet to be converted as a civilian airport.^[10] Sheremetyevo’s civilian purposes started on 11 August 1959 when a Tupolev Tu-104B landed onto the airport from Leningrad.

«Flying saucer» of the former Sheremetyevo-1 (initial Terminal B)

The first international flight took place on 1 June 1960 to Berlin Schönefeld Airport using an Ilyushin Il-18.^[11] Sheremetyevo was officially opened on the day after, where a two-story terminal occupying 1,820 square metres (19,600 sq ft) was commissioned. On 3 September 1964, the Sheremetyevo-1 terminal was opened. Of that year, 18 foreign airlines had regular flights to Sheremetyevo, with up to 10 different types of aircraft involved. By the end of 1964, Sheremetyevo handled 822,000 passengers and 23,000 tons of mail and cargo, including 245,000 passengers and 12,000 tons of cargo that were transported internationally. Soon, by the end of 1965, a majority of international flights to the USSR was achieved through Sheremetyevo thanks to Aeroflot’s air traffic agreements with 47 countries.

In the early 1970s, a second runway was constructed at Sheremetyevo, with the first airliner to land being an Ilyushin Il-62.^[12] In preparation for the 1980 Summer Olympics, construction of a second terminal for Sheremetyevo, Sheremetyevo-2, was approved by the Ministry of Civil Aviation in early 1976. Construction of Sheremetyevo-2 started on 17 November 1977.

Sheremetyevo-2 (now known as Terminal F) was built for the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

On 1 January 1980, Sheremetyevo-2 was put into operation, with a capacity to serve an annual 6 million passengers, or 2,100 passengers per hour.^[13] Despite this, its official opening ceremony was held much later, on 6 May 1980. During the Olympics, Sheremetyevo served more than 460,000 international passengers.

Contemporary eraEdit

On 11 November 1991, Sheremetyevo International Airport received its legal status as a state-owned enterprise, amidst the dissolution of the Soviet Union.^[14] On 9 July 1996, Sheremetyevo became an open joint-stock company. In 1997, the airport renovated one of its runways with a 30–35 cm thick concrete surface.

In the early 2000s, Sheremetyevo saw growing competition from the rapidly expanding Domodedovo International Airport, which was more modern and convenient to access, and the neighbouring Vnukovo Airport.^[15] Sheremetyevo saw 24 of its airlines, notably domestic airlines such as Sibir, KrasAir, Transaero, Pulkovo Airlines, and UTAir, as well as international airlines Air Malta, Adria Airlines, Swiss, British Airways, and Emirates, move their services to Domodedovo.^[16] As a result, Aeroflot pushed for a third terminal for the airport, Sheremetyevo-3, to increase the airport’s passenger capacity as well as be able to fulfill its requirements to join Skyteam.

In the late 2000s, Sheremetyevo oversaw rapid planning and expansion of the airport.^[17] On 12 March 2007, the airport opened Terminal C to maximise the airport’s international passenger capacity. On 5 March 2008, the airport renovated its second runway to receive all types of aircraft, including the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. An Aeroexpress line was constructed between Sheremetyevo and Savyolovsky Railway Station on 10 June 2008, quickening traveling time from the airport to central Moscow in 30 minutes. In January 2009, Sheremetyevo finalised a master plan where it would increase passenger capacity to an annual 64 million per year and build a second airfield with a third runway. On 15 November 2009, construction of Terminal D was completed, with a total surface area of 172,000 square metres (1,850,000 sq ft), an annual capacity of 12 million passengers, and operation being putting forth in the beginning of next year. Sheremetyevo-2 was renamed Terminal F on 25 December 2009 with terminal identification using international (Latin) lettering.^[18]

The former building of Terminal C, now demolished for a larger reconstruction of the terminal

Expansion of Sheremetyevo continued into 2010.^[19] Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March. Terminal E was opened on 30 April, connecting Terminal D and Terminal F and increasing the airport’s capacity to 35 million passengers per year. In June, construction started for Terminal A, a private aviation terminal. In July, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, F, and the Aeroexpress railway terminal on the public access side.^[20] In November, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, and F on the security side.^[21] Both of have simplified transfer between transit flights. Ultimately, after the northern the recent construction work, the airport now has the capacity to receive more than 40 million passengers annually.^[18]

On 28 March 2011, a separate airfield that would serve as Sheremetyevo’s third runway was approved.^[19] On 13 December 2011, the Federal Agency for State Property Management approved an agreement that merged the airport operators OAO Terminal (operator of Terminal D) and OJSC Sheremetyevo, consolidating control of the airport under one entity. On 26 December 2011, a new area control centre (ACC) was opened for Sheremetyevo, consolidating operations of the airport’s different control centres to increase efficiency.^[22] The situational centre was also created as part of the ACC for joint work of top-managers, heads of state bodies, and partners of Sheremetyevo to resolve emergencies.^[23]

Continued expansionEdit

On 30 December 2013, TPS Avia successfully won a competitive tender to develop Sheremetyevo International Airport’s northern area, including a new passenger terminal, a new freight terminal, a refuelling area and a tunnel linking the passenger terminal to three other terminals.^[24]

Terminal B, previously Sheremetyevo-1, was demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a newer and more modern terminal, which began in October 2015.^[25] By the end of 2015, Sheremetyevo surpassed its competitor Domodedovo as Russia’s busiest airport, serving 31.28 million passengers, compared to Domodedovo’s 30.05 million.^[26] This trend continued in 2016, where Sheremetyevo saw growth while Vnukovo and Domodedovo showed losses in passengers.^[27][28] A growing number of airlines launched new operations to Sheremetyevo, such as Tianjin Airlines, Tunisair, Nouvelair, and Air Malta, which back in the 2000s moved its operation to Domodedovo.^[29]

In February 2016, TPS Avia combined its assets with Sheremetyevo Airport and committed to invest US$840 million to upgrade and expand the airport’s infrastructure – as a result TPS Avia secured a 68% stake in Sheremetyevo Airport.^[30] Part of the plan includes demolishing Terminal C for a newer reconstruction of the terminal, which came to effect on 1 April 2017.^[31]

Sheremetyevo International Airport was the official airport of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sheremetyevo completed re-construction of its first northern terminal, Terminal B, in May 2018, to handle more passengers for the tournament.^[32] In 2018, the Airport reported revenues of €194.9 million, a 6% increase year over year. Profit increased 7.4% year over year. These increases are attributed in part to increased air traffic due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.^[7]

In late 2018, SVO enacted a series of changes to its flight traffic. Aeroflot subsidiary Rossiya Airlines announced the transfer of its flights from Vnukovo to Sheremetyevo starting 28 October 2018.^[33] British Airways also launched direct flights from London Heathrow to Sheremetyevo on the same day.^[5] Syria-based Cham Wings Airlines began direct flights from Damascus to SVO in November 2018 as well.^[34] In December 2018, following the results of the Great Names of Russia contest, Sheremetyevo was named after the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.^[3] The ceremony took place on 5 June 2019, which was the 220th anniversary of Pushkin’s birth year. The airport is now officially named Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport.^[35]

In 2019, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) began testing an automated passport control system at SVO. This system relies on biometric data and foreign passport recognition to allow Russian passengers to move through border control with fewer movement restrictions. If successful, the FSB may implement this system in other Russian airports.^{[36][needs update]}

TerminalsEdit

Sheremetyevo International Airport has four operating passenger terminals and one special terminal reserved for the use of private and business aviation.^[4] The airport’s four passenger terminals are divided into two groups based on geographical location: the Northern Terminal Complex and the Southern Terminal Complex. The current terminal naming system was introduced in December 2009; previously, the terminals were numbered: Sheremetyevo-1 (now Terminal B), Sheremetyevo-2 (now Terminal F), and Sheremetevo-3 (now Terminal D).^[18][19]

Terminal AEdit

Opened on 16 January 2012, Terminal A handles servicing of business and private aviation out of Sheremetyevo.^[19] The terminal occupies an area of 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft) and can carry an annual capacity of 75,000 passengers.

Northern terminalsEdit

Terminal BEdit

Lobby of Terminal B in its current form

Terminal B – originally named Sheremetyevo-1 – has two iterations.^[18]

The first iteration was constructed and opened on 3 September 1964.^[11] The terminal, as Sheremetyevo-1, was known for its «flying-saucer»-like design, and was nicknamed «shot glass» by locals. Being 200 metres (660 ft) long and 40 metres (130 ft) wide, as well as having a volume exceeding 100,000 cubic metres (3,500,000 cu ft), the terminal can hold up to 800 people per hour. Formerly serving international flights, Sheremetyevo-1 would transition to serving domestic flights.^[37] Along with other Sheremetyevo terminals that underwent Latin lettering conventions, Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March 2010.^[19] Terminal B was then demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a larger and more modern terminal which began in October 2015.^[25]

The new terminal B commenced its operations on 3 May 2018, with the Aeroflot’s flight to Saratov. All airlines that have domestic flights from Sheremetyevo and some flights of Aeroflot began shifting to Terminal B from Terminal D. Compared to the previous terminal B, that was demolished, new terminal will have an increased passenger capacity of 20 million passengers and will serve domestic flights only. As of November 2018, Aeroflot has consolidated all of its domestic services at Terminal B, with the exception of flights to far eastern destinations in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Flights to the eastern Russian shore and some short-haul (including all domestic flights served by widebodies) continue out of SVO’s Terminal D.^[38]

The terminal is connected by an interterminal underground passage with Sheremetyevo’s southern terminals and the Aeroexpress railway station.^[39]

Terminal CEdit

Interior of the former (now-demolished) Terminal C

On 12 March 2007, Sheremetyevo opened the former Terminal C for the servicing of international charter flights to maximize location convenience for all areas in the airport.^[40][41] Located adjacent to the former Terminal B, Terminal C served from 5 to 6 million passengers. The role of Terminal C diminished as passengers for international flights for the airport were distributed among Terminal D and Terminal E.^[42] As part of Sheremetyevo’s long-term redevelopment plan, Terminal C was closed on 1 April 2017 to be demolished for construction of a newer terminal.

Integrated with the now-reconstructed domestic Terminal B, the new Terminal C was designed to serve up to 20 million passengers.^[31]

The first section of the new Terminal C opened on 17 January 2020, with a planned capacity of 20 million passengers. It is called Terminal C1, and some international flights were transferred to that new terminal. Another part called Terminal C2 is scheduled to be opened in 2026, and will add another 10 million passengers capacity.^[43]

Southern terminalsEdit

Terminal DEdit

Terminal D, opened in November 2009, is adjacent to Terminal F. The 172,000 m² (1,850,000 sq ft) building is a hub for Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners, with capacity for 12 million passengers per year.^[44] Aeroflot had been trying to implement the project of a new terminal (Sheremetyevo-3) since January 2001. However, construction only began in 2005, with commissioning of the complex finally taking place on 15 November 2009. The acquisition of its own terminal was a condition of Aeroflot’s entry into the SkyTeam airline alliance, thus necessitating the construction. The main contractor for the build was a Turkish company Enka. Terminal D has 22 jetways and 11 remote stands. On 15 November 2009 at 9:15 a.m., the first flight from Terminal D (the new official name of Sheremetyevo-3) departed for the southern resort city of Sochi. Despite this, Aeroflot took a number of months (due to unexpected administrative delays) to transfer all of its international flights from Terminal F to D (a full transfer was originally planned for February 2010).^[45] Whilst previously Terminal D had remained a separate legal entity from the rest of Sheremetyevo Airport, in spring 2012, it became an integrated unit of «Sheremetyevo International Airport» JSC. As part of the deal, Aeroflot, VEB Bank, and VTB Bank, all of which had invested in the construction of Terminal D, became part shareholders in the airport as a whole. The basis for the architectural and artistic image of Terminal D is that of a giant swan with outstretched wings.

There is an official multi-storey parking at Terminal D connected with the main building by means of a pedestrian bridge. The parking size is about 4100 lots, however it has a relatively dense layout.

Between 2014 and 2018, Terminal D used to be the only terminal at Sheremetyevo that was able to serve domestic flights. Even since new Terminal B was opened and commenced its services, Terminal D continues to operate non-Aeroflot domestic flights.

On 28 October 2018, Terminal D started handling all of Rossiya Airlines’ Moscow-originating domestic flights and its international service to Indonesia.^[46][47]

On 15 March 2022, Terminal D was closed until further notice. This was done because most international flights were cancelled as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[48]

Terminal EEdit

Terminal E opened in 2010 as a capacity expansion project, connecting terminals D and F.^[49] The terminal’s construction has allowed for the development of terminals D and F, as well as the railway station, into a single south terminal complex. The terminals of this complex are connected by a number of pedestrian walkways with travelators, thus allowing for passengers to move freely between its constituent facilities. In December 2010, a new chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas opened on the second floor of Terminal E. The terminal is used for international flights, primarily by Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners. Terminal E has 8 jetway equipped gates. The V-Express Transit Hotel between security/passport check-ins provides short-term accommodations for passengers changing planes without having to present a visa for entering Russia. The hotel drew international attention in June 2013 when Edward Snowden checked into the hotel while seeking asylum.^{[citation needed]}

Terminal FEdit

Opened on 6 May 1980 for Moscow’s Summer Olympics, Terminal F, previously Sheremetyevo-2, has 15 jetways and 21 remote aircraft stands. The terminal was designed to service 6 million passengers per year. Until the completion of the original Terminal C, it was the only terminal that serviced international flights. The design is a larger version of the one of Hannover–Langenhagen Airport by the same architects^[50] and constructed by Rüterbau, a company located in Hanover. All materials, except the bricks which came from Poland, and every piece of equipment, was transported from Germany to Moscow by lorry. A major reconstruction of the terminal and its interior space was completed by late 2009. For the convenience of passengers, the departures lounge and duty free zone were thoroughly modernised, whilst a number of partition walls were removed to create extra retail and lounge space.

It was announced that terminal F will be re-constructed after the construction of terminal C is completed.

Terminal GEdit

In November 2019, it was announced that a new Terminal G will also be built. Construction is planned to begin in 2024.^[51]

RailEdit

Aeroexpress, a subsidiary of Russian Railways^[99] operates a nonstop line, connecting the airport to Belorussky station in downtown Moscow. A one-way journey takes 35 minutes. The trains offer adjustable seats, luggage compartments, restrooms, electric outlets. Business-class coaches available.
The service started in November 2004, when express train connection was established from Savyolovsky station to Lobnya station, which is 7 km (4.3 mi) from the airport, with the remainder of the journey served by bus or taxi. On 10 June 2008, a 60,000-square-metre (650,000 sq ft) rail terminal opened in front of Terminal F, with direct service from Savyolovsky station. A shuttle bus service ferried passengers to terminals B and C.^[100] From 28 August 2009, the line was extended to Belorussky station with plans to serve all three of Moscow’s main airports from a single point of boarding, and service to Savyolovsky station terminated.

Interterminal undergroundEdit

South station of the people mover

The airport’s Automated Passenger Transportation System [Wikidata](APTS)^[101] connects the Terminal B and C with the Terminals D, E, F and the Aeroexpress railway station.^[102]

At the 1st floor of the Terminal B there is an entrance to Sheremetyevo 1 — the northern station. The entrance to Sheremetyevo 2 — the southern station — is at the passage between the terminals D and E.^[103]

The APTS is a part of the Interterminal underground passage [Wikidata] — a dual tunnel transportation system in the airport. One of the tunnels is dedicated to the transportation of people and featuring an automated people mover (APM).^[101][104] The other tunnel is used for automated baggage transportation.^[102][105]

BusEdit

Moscow can be reached by the municipal Mosgortrans bus lines: 817 to station Planernaya of Moscow Metro Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line (#7), 851 to station Rechnoy Vokzal of Zamoskvoretskaya Line (#2), departures every 10 minutes, travel time 33–55 minutes by schedule depending on the terminal served. At night time bus N1 (Russian: Н1) (departures every 30 minutes between 3am and 5:40am) connects the airport to Moscow’s Leningradsky Avenue, downtown area and Leninsky Avenue. Travel time 30–90 minutes, fare is 57 rubles (as of February 2021).^[106]

Other buses serve the connections to the nearby cities: Lobnya (route 21), Zelenograd, Khimki (routes 43,62), Dolgoprudny.

RoadEdit

The main road leading to the airport—Leningradskoye Highway—has experienced large traffic jams. Since 23 December 2014, a toll road to the airport has been opened. It connects with MKAD near Dmitrovskoe Highway. Now it is possible to reach the airport in ten minutes, avoiding traffic jams.^[107]

Official airport taxis are available from taxi counters in arrivals. Prices to the city are fixed based on zones.

Столица России – крупнейший туристический и культурный центр. Ежегодно город принимает 16 000 000 гостей из регионов и других государств. Огромная часть путешественников попадает сюда непосредственно через воздушные ворота. Узнаем, какой из аэровокзалов считается крупнейшим в Москве и как он называется.

Определение значения аббревиатуры в названии

Сегодня столице принадлежат шесть транспортных узлов, которые выполняют воздушное сообщение внутри страны и обслуживают зарубежные направления. К ним относят Внуково, Домодедово, Шереметьево, Остафьево, новый аэровокзал Жуковский и военный Чкаловский аэродром. Однако эти названия непригодны для профессионального использования. Поэтому Международная организация IАТА присваивает каждому аэропорту определенную кодировку, состоящую из латинских обозначений.

Эта аббревиатура состоит из трех символов. Код считается уникальным и присваивается каждому транспортному узлу индивидуально.

Разберемся, с аббревиатурой SVO (Москва) – какой аэропорт получил такой код и что означают подобные символы. Согласно международной кодировке, этими буквами обозначают аэровокзал Шереметьево. Ведь написание названия аэропорта латиницей подразумевает именно такой порядок сокращения. Учитывая, что английский язык используется всеми странами мира, и он значится на сайтах большинства авиалиний и аэровокзалов, в международной системе название столицы переводится как «Мoscow».

Выяснив значение аббревиатуры, любой человек с легкостью разберется, что такое определение означает и зачем используют подобные сокращения. Ведь поиск зарубежного рейса предполагает знание международной символики, чтобы найти нужный маршрут быстрее. Кроме того, воспользоваться поисковиком перелета уместно, используя и город, куда вы намереваетесь лететь. В поисковых системах некоторых зарубежных авиалиний уместно использовать англоязычный вариант кодировки или названия столицы России.

Особенности авиаузла

Сегодня SVO – аэропорт, расшифровка которого означает «Шереметьево», считается крупнейшим хабом столицы. Этот комплекс вошел в двадцатку лучших авиаузлов Европы. Пассажиропоток аэровокзала в 2015 году составил 31 612 000 человек. При этом комплекс располагает двумя параллельными полосами для взлета и посадки лайнеров. Правда, из-за слишком близкого расположения взлетных дорожек, администрация узла не практикует одновременный взлет двух бортов, а разграничивает временной интервал длительностью в 15–20 минут для обеспечения безопасности пассажиров.

Что касается общего устройства комплекса, авиахаб предлагает пассажирам шесть отдельных терминалов, которые промаркированы латинскими символами: «А», «В», «С», «D», «E», «F». Правда, сейчас работа старейшего терминала «В» приостановлена из-за проведения реконструкции зала. Здесь в будущем возведут внушительный сектор, который обеспечит пассажиропоток в 15 000 000 человек.

Дополняет структуру аэропорта грузовой отсек, который называют «ШереметьевоКарго». Здесь происходит логистика перевозки, прием вещей, обработка заявок и выдача груза получателям.

Таким образом, комплекс становится полностью автономной структурой, которая позволяет осуществить воздушное сообщение между разными точками планеты. Причем планировка Шереметьево представляет собой две отдельные зоны – северный и южный комплекс, которые сообщаются между собой внутренними перевозками пассажиров шаттлами предприятия. Узнаем детали о каждом из терминалов SVO (аэропорт), какой сектор обслуживает внутренние перелеты и откуда удастся вылететь за рубеж.

Северная часть аэровокзала

В этой зоне взлетно-посадочного комплекса расположено три терминала, среди которых сектора «А», «В» и «С». Отсек «А» лежит в северо-восточной части комплекса и временно использует стоянки терминала «В». Открытие сектора прошло в 2012 году. Узел функционирует лишь на прием правительственных делегаций и крупных представителей бизнеса. Для обычных клиентов аэропорта этот терминал закрыт.

Отсек «С» расположен на севере и представляет собой полноценный взлетно-посадочный комплекс. Здесь базируются авиалинии, которые обслуживают преимущественно чартерные перелеты – «Ikar» и «NordWind Airlines». Здание комплекса насчитывает четыре уровня и позволяет подъехать к терминалу на авто. Здесь же расположена огромная парковка, где для клиентов хаба выделена 1 000 мест.

Южные терминалы

Сектора «D», «E», «F» объединены между собой в целый комплекс. Их соединяют пешеходные галереи, по которым пассажиры перемещаются по терминалам. Причем старейшим сектором в этой связке стал узел «F», который открыли к проведению Олимпиады в 1980 году. Терминал «D» появился в 2009, а «E» – в 2010 году. Хабы «Е» и «F» обслуживают международные рейсы.

Сектор «D» стал базой для лайнеров группы «Аэрофлот». Этот отсек считается основным и обслуживает рейсы внутри страны и перелеты в международных направлениях. Терминал «F» — наиболее развитый хаб комплекса. Здесь есть выход на платформу электропоезда, расширена зона свободного перемещения пассажиров, оборудовано два зала для VIP гостей. Тут расположен отель аэропорта, зона беспошлинной торговли, магазины и бутики. Кроме того, сектор предлагает отдельный зал для приема делегаций правительства.

Услуги клиентам авиахаба

Шереметьево – аэропорт, администрация которого идет в ногу со временем. Для клиентов предприятие разработало удобный сайт, где пассажиры изучают расписание рейсов и бронируют авиабилеты. Кроме того, здесь возможно и пройти онлайн-регистрацию, а этот факт существенно упрощает задачу для большинства людей, которые собираются в путешествие. Ведь интернет-регистрация позволяет немного опоздать к официальному окончанию подобной процедуры в аэропорту.

Учитывая последние тенденции на мировой арене, службы аэровокзала стремятся максимально упростить перемещение клиентов по территории комплекса. Здесь созданы комфортные условия для маломобильных людей, которые испытывают определенные затруднения в самостоятельном перемещении. Сопровождение инвалидов, отдельные удобные паркоместа для транспорта, которым управляют малоподвижные лица, специальные залы ожидания и лифты, позволяющие пассажирам из этой категории попасть на борт лайнера – неотъемлемая часть внутреннего благоустройства авиаузла.

Для транзитных пассажиров в узле «F» бесперебойно функционирует отдельный зал. Попасть сюда удастся всем путешественникам, которые предъявят сотруднику билет, подтверждающий стыковку в этом аэропорту. Обратите внимание, что разрешительные бумаги на посещение России здесь не потребуются.

Для клиентов, которые стремятся обеспечить комфортабельное пребывание во временной точке пребывания, функционируют VIP комплексы, позволяющие ожидать рейс в достойных условиях. Тут доступен бесплатный Wi-Fi, телевидение, возможность перекусить перед полетом. Залы оборудованы мягкой эргономичной мебелью. Если возникнет необходимость, предприятие готово предоставить деловым людям спецзал для проведения встреч и переговоров.

Особая политика Шереметьево прослеживается и относительно детей. Аэропорт предлагает клиентам возможность комфортно путешествовать с ребенком, начиная с младенческого возраста. Тут присутствуют столы для пеленания, комнаты для игр, кухонные и обеденные детские зоны. Некоторые авиалинии практикуют бесплатное предложение родителям младенцев колясок после упаковки и сдачи багажа. Изделие выдают на временное пользование до момента посадки на рейс.

Планы по усовершенствованию комплекса

Сегодня представители компании Шереметьево планируют окончить реконструкцию терминала «В» к 2017 году. Обновленный узел позволит увеличить общий пассажиропоток и одновременно создать максимально комфортные условия для клиентов предприятия. Кроме того, в перспективе рассматривают проект постройки третьей полосы для посадки и взлета лайнеров. Это событие позволит аэровокзалу выйти на принципиально новый уровень.

Плановое развитие аэропорта предполагает окончание постройки летней зоны и увеличение оборота грузового терминала. Специалисты говорят, что этот комплекс способен принимать и отправлять ежегодно 1 000 000 тонн груза. На этот уровень руководство авиахаба планирует выйти к 2030 году.

Наконец, постоянное расширение географии сети перелетов и появление новых маршрутов позволит вывести авиаузел Шереметьево в пятерку мировых лидеров. Сегодня же аэровокзал предлагает полеты в 200 точек мира и сотрудничает более чем с 35 отечественными и зарубежными авиалиниями.

Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport (Russian: Международный аэропорт Шереметьево имени А. С. Пушкина, IPA: [ʂɨrʲɪˈmʲetʲjɪvə] Mezhdunarodny aeroport Sheremetyevo imeni A. S. Pushkina) (IATA: SVO, ICAO: UUEE) is one of four international airports that serve the city of Moscow. It is the busiest airport in Russia, as well as the thirteenth-busiest airport in Europe. Originally built as a military airbase, Sheremetyevo was converted into a civilian airport in 1959.^[2] The airport was originally named after a nearby village, and a 2019 contest extended the name to include the name of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.^[3]

The airport comprises six terminals: four international terminals (one under construction), one domestic terminal, and one private aviation terminal.^[2][4] It is located 29 km (18 mi) northwest of central Moscow, in the city of Lobnya, Moscow Oblast.^[5]

In 2017, the airport handled about 40.1 million passengers and 308,090 aircraft movements. During 2018, the airport reported a 14.3% increase in passengers for a total of 45.8 million.^[6] There was also a 15.9% increase in aircraft traffic year over year.^[7] Sheremetyevo serves as the main hub for Russian flag carrier Aeroflot and its branch Rossiya Airlines; Nordwind Airlines and its branch Pegas Fly; and Ural Airlines.^[8]

History[edit]

Soviet era[edit]

The airport was originally built as a military airfield called Sheremetyevsky (Шереметьевский), named after a village of the same name, as well as the Savelov station on the railway of the same name. The decree for the construction of the Central Airdrome of the Air Force near the settlement of Chashnikovo (Чашниково) on the outskirts of Moscow was issued on 1 September 1953 by the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. The airport became operational on 7 November 1957 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution.^[9][10]

In August 1959, the Council of Ministers made a decree to terminate the airbase’s use for military purposes, where it would be handled over to the Principal Directorate of the Civil Air Fleet to be converted as a civilian airport.^[10] Sheremetyevo’s civilian purposes started on 11 August 1959 when a Tupolev Tu-104B landed onto the airport from Leningrad.

The first international flight took place on 1 June 1960 to Berlin Schönefeld Airport using an Ilyushin Il-18.^[11] Sheremetyevo was officially opened on the day after, where a two-story terminal occupying 1,820 square metres (19,600 sq ft) was commissioned. On 3 September 1964, the Sheremetyevo-1 terminal was opened. Of that year, 18 foreign airlines had regular flights to Sheremetyevo, with up to 10 different types of aircraft involved. By the end of 1964, Sheremetyevo handled 822,000 passengers and 23,000 tons of mail and cargo, including 245,000 passengers and 12,000 tons of cargo that were transported internationally. Soon, by the end of 1965, a majority of international flights to the USSR was achieved through Sheremetyevo thanks to Aeroflot’s air traffic agreements with 47 countries.

In the early 1970s, a second runway was constructed at Sheremetyevo, with the first airliner to land being an Ilyushin Il-62.^[12] In preparation for the 1980 Summer Olympics, construction of a second terminal for Sheremetyevo, Sheremetyevo-2, was approved by the Ministry of Civil Aviation in early 1976. Construction of Sheremetyevo-2 started on 17 November 1977.

On 1 January 1980, Sheremetyevo-2 was put into operation, with a capacity to serve an annual 6 million passengers, or 2,100 passengers per hour.^[13] Despite this, its official opening ceremony was held much later, on 6 May 1980. During the Olympics, Sheremetyevo served more than 460,000 international passengers.

Contemporary era[edit]

On 11 November 1991, Sheremetyevo International Airport received its legal status as a state-owned enterprise, amidst the dissolution of the Soviet Union.^[14] On 9 July 1996, Sheremetyevo became an open joint-stock company. In 1997, the airport renovated one of its runways with a 30–35 cm thick concrete surface.

In the early 2000s, Sheremetyevo saw growing competition from the rapidly expanding Domodedovo International Airport, which was more modern and convenient to access, and the neighbouring Vnukovo Airport.^[15] Sheremetyevo saw 24 of its airlines, notably domestic airlines such as Sibir, KrasAir, Transaero, Pulkovo Airlines, and UTAir, as well as international airlines Air Malta, Adria Airlines, Swiss, British Airways, and Emirates, move their services to Domodedovo.^[16] As a result, Aeroflot pushed for a third terminal for the airport, Sheremetyevo-3, to increase the airport’s passenger capacity as well as be able to fulfill its requirements to join Skyteam.

In the late 2000s, Sheremetyevo oversaw rapid planning and expansion of the airport.^[17] On 12 March 2007, the airport opened Terminal C to maximise the airport’s international passenger capacity. On 5 March 2008, the airport renovated its second runway to receive all types of aircraft, including the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. An Aeroexpress line was constructed between Sheremetyevo and Savyolovsky Railway Station on 10 June 2008, quickening traveling time from the airport to central Moscow in 30 minutes. In January 2009, Sheremetyevo finalised a master plan where it would increase passenger capacity to an annual 64 million per year and build a second airfield with a third runway. On 15 November 2009, construction of Terminal D was completed, with a total surface area of 172,000 square metres (1,850,000 sq ft), an annual capacity of 12 million passengers, and operation being putting forth in the beginning of next year. Sheremetyevo-2 was renamed Terminal F on 25 December 2009 with terminal identification using international (Latin) lettering.^[18]

Expansion of Sheremetyevo continued into 2010.^[19] Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March. Terminal E was opened on 30 April, connecting Terminal D and Terminal F and increasing the airport’s capacity to 35 million passengers per year. In June, construction started for Terminal A, a private aviation terminal. In July, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, F, and the Aeroexpress railway terminal on the public access side.^[20] In November, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, and F on the security side.^[21] Both of have simplified transfer between transit flights. Ultimately, after the northern the recent construction work, the airport now has the capacity to receive more than 40 million passengers annually.^[18]

On 28 March 2011, a separate airfield that would serve as Sheremetyevo’s third runway was approved.^[19] On 13 December 2011, the Federal Agency for State Property Management approved an agreement that merged the airport operators OAO Terminal (operator of Terminal D) and OJSC Sheremetyevo, consolidating control of the airport under one entity. On 26 December 2011, a new area control centre (ACC) was opened for Sheremetyevo, consolidating operations of the airport’s different control centres to increase efficiency.^[22] The situational centre was also created as part of the ACC for joint work of top-managers, heads of state bodies, and partners of Sheremetyevo to resolve emergencies.^[23]

Continued expansion[edit]

On 30 December 2013, TPS Avia successfully won a competitive tender to develop Sheremetyevo International Airport’s northern area, including a new passenger terminal, a new freight terminal, a refuelling area and a tunnel linking the passenger terminal to three other terminals.^[24]

Terminal B, previously Sheremetyevo-1, was demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a newer and more modern terminal, which began in October 2015.^[25] By the end of 2015, Sheremetyevo surpassed its competitor Domodedovo as Russia’s busiest airport, serving 31.28 million passengers, compared to Domodedovo’s 30.05 million.^[26] This trend continued in 2016, where Sheremetyevo saw growth while Vnukovo and Domodedovo showed losses in passengers.^[27][28] A growing number of airlines launched new operations to Sheremetyevo, such as Tianjin Airlines, Tunisair, Nouvelair, and Air Malta, which back in the 2000s moved its operation to Domodedovo.^[29]

In February 2016, TPS Avia combined its assets with Sheremetyevo Airport and committed to invest US$840 million to upgrade and expand the airport’s infrastructure – as a result TPS Avia secured a 68% stake in Sheremetyevo Airport.^[30] Part of the plan includes demolishing Terminal C for a newer reconstruction of the terminal, which came to effect on 1 April 2017.^[31]

Sheremetyevo International Airport was the official airport of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sheremetyevo completed re-construction of its first northern terminal, Terminal B, in May 2018, to handle more passengers for the tournament.^[32] In 2018, the Airport reported revenues of €194.9 million, a 6% increase year over year. Profit increased 7.4% year over year. These increases are attributed in part to increased air traffic due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.^[7]

In late 2018, SVO enacted a series of changes to its flight traffic. Aeroflot subsidiary Rossiya Airlines announced the transfer of its flights from Vnukovo to Sheremetyevo starting 28 October 2018.^[33] British Airways also launched direct flights from London Heathrow to Sheremetyevo on the same day.^[5] Syria-based Cham Wings Airlines began direct flights from Damascus to SVO in November 2018 as well.^[34] In December 2018, following the results of the Great Names of Russia contest, Sheremetyevo was named after the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.^[3] The ceremony took place on 5 June 2019, which was the 220th anniversary of Pushkin’s birth year. The airport is now officially named Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport.^[35]

In 2019, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) began testing an automated passport control system at SVO. This system relies on biometric data and foreign passport recognition to allow Russian passengers to move through border control with fewer movement restrictions. If successful, the FSB may implement this system in other Russian airports.^{[36][needs update]}

Terminals[edit]

Sheremetyevo International Airport has four operating passenger terminals and one special terminal reserved for the use of private and business aviation.^[4] The airport’s four passenger terminals are divided into two groups based on geographical location: the Northern Terminal Complex and the Southern Terminal Complex. The current terminal naming system was introduced in December 2009; previously, the terminals were numbered: Sheremetyevo-1 (now Terminal B), Sheremetyevo-2 (now Terminal F), and Sheremetevo-3 (now Terminal D).^[18][19]

Terminal A[edit]

Opened on 16 January 2012, Terminal A handles servicing of business and private aviation out of Sheremetyevo.^[19] The terminal occupies an area of 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft) and can carry an annual capacity of 75,000 passengers.

Northern terminals[edit]

Terminal B[edit]

Terminal B – originally named Sheremetyevo-1 – has two iterations.^[18]

The first iteration was constructed and opened on 3 September 1964.^[11] The terminal, as Sheremetyevo-1, was known for its «flying-saucer»-like design, and was nicknamed «shot glass» by locals. Being 200 metres (660 ft) long and 40 metres (130 ft) wide, as well as having a volume exceeding 100,000 cubic metres (3,500,000 cu ft), the terminal can hold up to 800 people per hour. Formerly serving international flights, Sheremetyevo-1 would transition to serving domestic flights.^[37] Along with other Sheremetyevo terminals that underwent Latin lettering conventions, Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March 2010.^[19] Terminal B was then demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a larger and more modern terminal which began in October 2015.^[25]

The new terminal B commenced its operations on 3 May 2018, with the Aeroflot’s flight to Saratov. All airlines that have domestic flights from Sheremetyevo and some flights of Aeroflot began shifting to Terminal B from Terminal D. Compared to the previous terminal B, that was demolished, new terminal will have an increased passenger capacity of 20 million passengers and will serve domestic flights only. As of November 2018, Aeroflot has consolidated all of its domestic services at Terminal B, with the exception of flights to far eastern destinations in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Flights to the eastern Russian shore and some short-haul (including all domestic flights served by widebodies) continue out of SVO’s Terminal D.^[38]

The terminal is connected by an interterminal underground passage with Sheremetyevo’s southern terminals and the Aeroexpress railway station.^[39]

Terminal C[edit]

On 12 March 2007, Sheremetyevo opened the former Terminal C for the servicing of international charter flights to maximize location convenience for all areas in the airport.^[40][41] Located adjacent to the former Terminal B, Terminal C served from 5 to 6 million passengers. The role of Terminal C diminished as passengers for international flights for the airport were distributed among Terminal D and Terminal E.^[42] As part of Sheremetyevo’s long-term redevelopment plan, Terminal C was closed on 1 April 2017 to be demolished for construction of a newer terminal.

Integrated with the now-reconstructed domestic Terminal B, the new Terminal C was designed to serve up to 20 million passengers.^[31]

The first section of the new Terminal C opened on 17 January 2020, with a planned capacity of 20 million passengers. It is called Terminal C1, and some international flights were transferred to that new terminal. Another part called Terminal C2 is scheduled to be opened in 2026, and will add another 10 million passengers capacity.^[43]

Southern terminals[edit]

Terminal D[edit]

Terminal D, opened in November 2009, is adjacent to Terminal F. The 172,000 m² (1,850,000 sq ft) building is a hub for Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners, with capacity for 12 million passengers per year.^[44] Aeroflot had been trying to implement the project of a new terminal (Sheremetyevo-3) since January 2001. However, construction only began in 2005, with commissioning of the complex finally taking place on 15 November 2009. The acquisition of its own terminal was a condition of Aeroflot’s entry into the SkyTeam airline alliance, thus necessitating the construction. The main contractor for the build was a Turkish company Enka. Terminal D has 22 jetways and 11 remote stands. On 15 November 2009 at 9:15 a.m., the first flight from Terminal D (the new official name of Sheremetyevo-3) departed for the southern resort city of Sochi. Despite this, Aeroflot took a number of months (due to unexpected administrative delays) to transfer all of its international flights from Terminal F to D (a full transfer was originally planned for February 2010).^[45] Whilst previously Terminal D had remained a separate legal entity from the rest of Sheremetyevo Airport, in spring 2012, it became an integrated unit of «Sheremetyevo International Airport» JSC. As part of the deal, Aeroflot, VEB Bank, and VTB Bank, all of which had invested in the construction of Terminal D, became part shareholders in the airport as a whole. The basis for the architectural and artistic image of Terminal D is that of a giant swan with outstretched wings.

There is an official multi-storey parking at Terminal D connected with the main building by means of a pedestrian bridge. The parking size is about 4100 lots, however it has a relatively dense layout.

Between 2014 and 2018, Terminal D used to be the only terminal at Sheremetyevo that was able to serve domestic flights. Even since new Terminal B was opened and commenced its services, Terminal D continues to operate non-Aeroflot domestic flights.

On 28 October 2018, Terminal D started handling all of Rossiya Airlines’ Moscow-originating domestic flights and its international service to Indonesia.^[46][47]

On 15 March 2022, Terminal D was closed until further notice. This was done because most international flights were cancelled as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[48]

Terminal E[edit]

Terminal E opened in 2010 as a capacity expansion project, connecting terminals D and F.^[49] The terminal’s construction has allowed for the development of terminals D and F, as well as the railway station, into a single south terminal complex. The terminals of this complex are connected by a number of pedestrian walkways with travelators, thus allowing for passengers to move freely between its constituent facilities. In December 2010, a new chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas opened on the second floor of Terminal E. The terminal is used for international flights, primarily by Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners. Terminal E has 8 jetway equipped gates. The V-Express Transit Hotel between security/passport check-ins provides short-term accommodations for passengers changing planes without having to present a visa for entering Russia. The hotel drew international attention in June 2013 when Edward Snowden checked into the hotel while seeking asylum.^{[citation needed]}

Terminal F[edit]

Opened on 6 May 1980 for Moscow’s Summer Olympics, Terminal F, previously Sheremetyevo-2, has 15 jetways and 21 remote aircraft stands. The terminal was designed to service 6 million passengers per year. Until the completion of the original Terminal C, it was the only terminal that serviced international flights. The design is a larger version of the one of Hannover–Langenhagen Airport by the same architects^[50] and constructed by Rüterbau, a company located in Hanover. All materials, except the bricks which came from Poland, and every piece of equipment, was transported from Germany to Moscow by lorry. A major reconstruction of the terminal and its interior space was completed by late 2009. For the convenience of passengers, the departures lounge and duty free zone were thoroughly modernised, whilst a number of partition walls were removed to create extra retail and lounge space.

It was announced that terminal F will be re-constructed after the construction of terminal C is completed.

Terminal G[edit]

In November 2019, it was announced that a new Terminal G will also be built. Construction is planned to begin in 2024.^[51]

Rail[edit]

Aeroexpress, a subsidiary of Russian Railways^[99] operates a nonstop line, connecting the airport to Belorussky station in downtown Moscow. A one-way journey takes 35 minutes. The trains offer adjustable seats, luggage compartments, restrooms, electric outlets. Business-class coaches available.
The service started in November 2004, when express train connection was established from Savyolovsky station to Lobnya station, which is 7 km (4.3 mi) from the airport, with the remainder of the journey served by bus or taxi. On 10 June 2008, a 60,000-square-metre (650,000 sq ft) rail terminal opened in front of Terminal F, with direct service from Savyolovsky station. A shuttle bus service ferried passengers to terminals B and C.^[100] From 28 August 2009, the line was extended to Belorussky station with plans to serve all three of Moscow’s main airports from a single point of boarding, and service to Savyolovsky station terminated.

Interterminal underground[edit]

The airport’s Automated Passenger Transportation System [Wikidata](APTS)^[101] connects the Terminal B and C with the Terminals D, E, F and the Aeroexpress railway station.^[102]

At the 1st floor of the Terminal B there is an entrance to Sheremetyevo 1 — the northern station. The entrance to Sheremetyevo 2 — the southern station — is at the passage between the terminals D and E.^[103]

The APTS is a part of the Interterminal underground passage [Wikidata] — a dual tunnel transportation system in the airport. One of the tunnels is dedicated to the transportation of people and featuring an automated people mover (APM).^[101][104] The other tunnel is used for automated baggage transportation.^[102][105]

Bus[edit]

Moscow can be reached by the municipal Mosgortrans bus lines: 817 to station Planernaya of Moscow Metro Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line (#7), 851 to station Rechnoy Vokzal of Zamoskvoretskaya Line (#2), departures every 10 minutes, travel time 33–55 minutes by schedule depending on the terminal served. At night time bus N1 (Russian: Н1) (departures every 30 minutes between 3am and 5:40am) connects the airport to Moscow’s Leningradsky Avenue, downtown area and Leninsky Avenue. Travel time 30–90 minutes, fare is 57 rubles (as of February 2021).^[106]

Other buses serve the connections to the nearby cities: Lobnya (route 21), Zelenograd, Khimki (routes 43,62), Dolgoprudny.

Road[edit]

The main road leading to the airport—Leningradskoye Highway—has experienced large traffic jams. Since 23 December 2014, a toll road to the airport has been opened. It connects with MKAD near Dmitrovskoe Highway. Now it is possible to reach the airport in ten minutes, avoiding traffic jams.^[107]

Official airport taxis are available from taxi counters in arrivals. Prices to the city are fixed based on zones.

Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport (Russian: Международный аэропорт Шереметьево имени А. С. Пушкина, IPA: [ʂɨrʲɪˈmʲetʲjɪvə] Mezhdunarodny aeroport Sheremetyevo imeni A. S. Pushkina) (IATA: SVO, ICAO: UUEE) is one of four international airports that serve the city of Moscow. It is the busiest airport in Russia, as well as the thirteenth-busiest airport in Europe. Originally built as a military airbase, Sheremetyevo was converted into a civilian airport in 1959.^[2] The airport was originally named after a nearby village, and a 2019 contest extended the name to include the name of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.^[3]

The airport comprises six terminals: four international terminals (one under construction), one domestic terminal, and one private aviation terminal.^[2][4] It is located 29 km (18 mi) northwest of central Moscow, in the city of Lobnya, Moscow Oblast.^[5]

In 2017, the airport handled about 40.1 million passengers and 308,090 aircraft movements. During 2018, the airport reported a 14.3% increase in passengers for a total of 45.8 million.^[6] There was also a 15.9% increase in aircraft traffic year over year.^[7] Sheremetyevo serves as the main hub for Russian flag carrier Aeroflot and its branch Rossiya Airlines; Nordwind Airlines and its branch Pegas Fly; and Ural Airlines.^[8]

History[edit]

Soviet era[edit]

The airport was originally built as a military airfield called Sheremetyevsky (Шереметьевский), named after a village of the same name, as well as the Savelov station on the railway of the same name. The decree for the construction of the Central Airdrome of the Air Force near the settlement of Chashnikovo (Чашниково) on the outskirts of Moscow was issued on 1 September 1953 by the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. The airport became operational on 7 November 1957 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution.^[9][10]

In August 1959, the Council of Ministers made a decree to terminate the airbase’s use for military purposes, where it would be handled over to the Principal Directorate of the Civil Air Fleet to be converted as a civilian airport.^[10] Sheremetyevo’s civilian purposes started on 11 August 1959 when a Tupolev Tu-104B landed onto the airport from Leningrad.

The first international flight took place on 1 June 1960 to Berlin Schönefeld Airport using an Ilyushin Il-18.^[11] Sheremetyevo was officially opened on the day after, where a two-story terminal occupying 1,820 square metres (19,600 sq ft) was commissioned. On 3 September 1964, the Sheremetyevo-1 terminal was opened. Of that year, 18 foreign airlines had regular flights to Sheremetyevo, with up to 10 different types of aircraft involved. By the end of 1964, Sheremetyevo handled 822,000 passengers and 23,000 tons of mail and cargo, including 245,000 passengers and 12,000 tons of cargo that were transported internationally. Soon, by the end of 1965, a majority of international flights to the USSR was achieved through Sheremetyevo thanks to Aeroflot’s air traffic agreements with 47 countries.

In the early 1970s, a second runway was constructed at Sheremetyevo, with the first airliner to land being an Ilyushin Il-62.^[12] In preparation for the 1980 Summer Olympics, construction of a second terminal for Sheremetyevo, Sheremetyevo-2, was approved by the Ministry of Civil Aviation in early 1976. Construction of Sheremetyevo-2 started on 17 November 1977.

On 1 January 1980, Sheremetyevo-2 was put into operation, with a capacity to serve an annual 6 million passengers, or 2,100 passengers per hour.^[13] Despite this, its official opening ceremony was held much later, on 6 May 1980. During the Olympics, Sheremetyevo served more than 460,000 international passengers.

Contemporary era[edit]

On 11 November 1991, Sheremetyevo International Airport received its legal status as a state-owned enterprise, amidst the dissolution of the Soviet Union.^[14] On 9 July 1996, Sheremetyevo became an open joint-stock company. In 1997, the airport renovated one of its runways with a 30–35 cm thick concrete surface.

In the early 2000s, Sheremetyevo saw growing competition from the rapidly expanding Domodedovo International Airport, which was more modern and convenient to access, and the neighbouring Vnukovo Airport.^[15] Sheremetyevo saw 24 of its airlines, notably domestic airlines such as Sibir, KrasAir, Transaero, Pulkovo Airlines, and UTAir, as well as international airlines Air Malta, Adria Airlines, Swiss, British Airways, and Emirates, move their services to Domodedovo.^[16] As a result, Aeroflot pushed for a third terminal for the airport, Sheremetyevo-3, to increase the airport’s passenger capacity as well as be able to fulfill its requirements to join Skyteam.

In the late 2000s, Sheremetyevo oversaw rapid planning and expansion of the airport.^[17] On 12 March 2007, the airport opened Terminal C to maximise the airport’s international passenger capacity. On 5 March 2008, the airport renovated its second runway to receive all types of aircraft, including the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. An Aeroexpress line was constructed between Sheremetyevo and Savyolovsky Railway Station on 10 June 2008, quickening traveling time from the airport to central Moscow in 30 minutes. In January 2009, Sheremetyevo finalised a master plan where it would increase passenger capacity to an annual 64 million per year and build a second airfield with a third runway. On 15 November 2009, construction of Terminal D was completed, with a total surface area of 172,000 square metres (1,850,000 sq ft), an annual capacity of 12 million passengers, and operation being putting forth in the beginning of next year. Sheremetyevo-2 was renamed Terminal F on 25 December 2009 with terminal identification using international (Latin) lettering.^[18]

Expansion of Sheremetyevo continued into 2010.^[19] Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March. Terminal E was opened on 30 April, connecting Terminal D and Terminal F and increasing the airport’s capacity to 35 million passengers per year. In June, construction started for Terminal A, a private aviation terminal. In July, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, F, and the Aeroexpress railway terminal on the public access side.^[20] In November, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, and F on the security side.^[21] Both of have simplified transfer between transit flights. Ultimately, after the northern the recent construction work, the airport now has the capacity to receive more than 40 million passengers annually.^[18]

On 28 March 2011, a separate airfield that would serve as Sheremetyevo’s third runway was approved.^[19] On 13 December 2011, the Federal Agency for State Property Management approved an agreement that merged the airport operators OAO Terminal (operator of Terminal D) and OJSC Sheremetyevo, consolidating control of the airport under one entity. On 26 December 2011, a new area control centre (ACC) was opened for Sheremetyevo, consolidating operations of the airport’s different control centres to increase efficiency.^[22] The situational centre was also created as part of the ACC for joint work of top-managers, heads of state bodies, and partners of Sheremetyevo to resolve emergencies.^[23]

Continued expansion[edit]

On 30 December 2013, TPS Avia successfully won a competitive tender to develop Sheremetyevo International Airport’s northern area, including a new passenger terminal, a new freight terminal, a refuelling area and a tunnel linking the passenger terminal to three other terminals.^[24]

Terminal B, previously Sheremetyevo-1, was demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a newer and more modern terminal, which began in October 2015.^[25] By the end of 2015, Sheremetyevo surpassed its competitor Domodedovo as Russia’s busiest airport, serving 31.28 million passengers, compared to Domodedovo’s 30.05 million.^[26] This trend continued in 2016, where Sheremetyevo saw growth while Vnukovo and Domodedovo showed losses in passengers.^[27][28] A growing number of airlines launched new operations to Sheremetyevo, such as Tianjin Airlines, Tunisair, Nouvelair, and Air Malta, which back in the 2000s moved its operation to Domodedovo.^[29]

In February 2016, TPS Avia combined its assets with Sheremetyevo Airport and committed to invest US$840 million to upgrade and expand the airport’s infrastructure – as a result TPS Avia secured a 68% stake in Sheremetyevo Airport.^[30] Part of the plan includes demolishing Terminal C for a newer reconstruction of the terminal, which came to effect on 1 April 2017.^[31]

Sheremetyevo International Airport was the official airport of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sheremetyevo completed re-construction of its first northern terminal, Terminal B, in May 2018, to handle more passengers for the tournament.^[32] In 2018, the Airport reported revenues of €194.9 million, a 6% increase year over year. Profit increased 7.4% year over year. These increases are attributed in part to increased air traffic due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.^[7]

In late 2018, SVO enacted a series of changes to its flight traffic. Aeroflot subsidiary Rossiya Airlines announced the transfer of its flights from Vnukovo to Sheremetyevo starting 28 October 2018.^[33] British Airways also launched direct flights from London Heathrow to Sheremetyevo on the same day.^[5] Syria-based Cham Wings Airlines began direct flights from Damascus to SVO in November 2018 as well.^[34] In December 2018, following the results of the Great Names of Russia contest, Sheremetyevo was named after the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.^[3] The ceremony took place on 5 June 2019, which was the 220th anniversary of Pushkin’s birth year. The airport is now officially named Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport.^[35]

In 2019, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) began testing an automated passport control system at SVO. This system relies on biometric data and foreign passport recognition to allow Russian passengers to move through border control with fewer movement restrictions. If successful, the FSB may implement this system in other Russian airports.^{[36][needs update]}

Terminals[edit]

Sheremetyevo International Airport has four operating passenger terminals and one special terminal reserved for the use of private and business aviation.^[4] The airport’s four passenger terminals are divided into two groups based on geographical location: the Northern Terminal Complex and the Southern Terminal Complex. The current terminal naming system was introduced in December 2009; previously, the terminals were numbered: Sheremetyevo-1 (now Terminal B), Sheremetyevo-2 (now Terminal F), and Sheremetevo-3 (now Terminal D).^[18][19]

Terminal A[edit]

Opened on 16 January 2012, Terminal A handles servicing of business and private aviation out of Sheremetyevo.^[19] The terminal occupies an area of 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft) and can carry an annual capacity of 75,000 passengers.

Northern terminals[edit]

Terminal B[edit]

Terminal B – originally named Sheremetyevo-1 – has two iterations.^[18]

The first iteration was constructed and opened on 3 September 1964.^[11] The terminal, as Sheremetyevo-1, was known for its «flying-saucer»-like design, and was nicknamed «shot glass» by locals. Being 200 metres (660 ft) long and 40 metres (130 ft) wide, as well as having a volume exceeding 100,000 cubic metres (3,500,000 cu ft), the terminal can hold up to 800 people per hour. Formerly serving international flights, Sheremetyevo-1 would transition to serving domestic flights.^[37] Along with other Sheremetyevo terminals that underwent Latin lettering conventions, Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March 2010.^[19] Terminal B was then demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a larger and more modern terminal which began in October 2015.^[25]

The new terminal B commenced its operations on 3 May 2018, with the Aeroflot’s flight to Saratov. All airlines that have domestic flights from Sheremetyevo and some flights of Aeroflot began shifting to Terminal B from Terminal D. Compared to the previous terminal B, that was demolished, new terminal will have an increased passenger capacity of 20 million passengers and will serve domestic flights only. As of November 2018, Aeroflot has consolidated all of its domestic services at Terminal B, with the exception of flights to far eastern destinations in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Flights to the eastern Russian shore and some short-haul (including all domestic flights served by widebodies) continue out of SVO’s Terminal D.^[38]

The terminal is connected by an interterminal underground passage with Sheremetyevo’s southern terminals and the Aeroexpress railway station.^[39]

Terminal C[edit]

On 12 March 2007, Sheremetyevo opened the former Terminal C for the servicing of international charter flights to maximize location convenience for all areas in the airport.^[40][41] Located adjacent to the former Terminal B, Terminal C served from 5 to 6 million passengers. The role of Terminal C diminished as passengers for international flights for the airport were distributed among Terminal D and Terminal E.^[42] As part of Sheremetyevo’s long-term redevelopment plan, Terminal C was closed on 1 April 2017 to be demolished for construction of a newer terminal.

Integrated with the now-reconstructed domestic Terminal B, the new Terminal C was designed to serve up to 20 million passengers.^[31]

The first section of the new Terminal C opened on 17 January 2020, with a planned capacity of 20 million passengers. It is called Terminal C1, and some international flights were transferred to that new terminal. Another part called Terminal C2 is scheduled to be opened in 2026, and will add another 10 million passengers capacity.^[43]

Southern terminals[edit]

Terminal D[edit]

Terminal D, opened in November 2009, is adjacent to Terminal F. The 172,000 m² (1,850,000 sq ft) building is a hub for Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners, with capacity for 12 million passengers per year.^[44] Aeroflot had been trying to implement the project of a new terminal (Sheremetyevo-3) since January 2001. However, construction only began in 2005, with commissioning of the complex finally taking place on 15 November 2009. The acquisition of its own terminal was a condition of Aeroflot’s entry into the SkyTeam airline alliance, thus necessitating the construction. The main contractor for the build was a Turkish company Enka. Terminal D has 22 jetways and 11 remote stands. On 15 November 2009 at 9:15 a.m., the first flight from Terminal D (the new official name of Sheremetyevo-3) departed for the southern resort city of Sochi. Despite this, Aeroflot took a number of months (due to unexpected administrative delays) to transfer all of its international flights from Terminal F to D (a full transfer was originally planned for February 2010).^[45] Whilst previously Terminal D had remained a separate legal entity from the rest of Sheremetyevo Airport, in spring 2012, it became an integrated unit of «Sheremetyevo International Airport» JSC. As part of the deal, Aeroflot, VEB Bank, and VTB Bank, all of which had invested in the construction of Terminal D, became part shareholders in the airport as a whole. The basis for the architectural and artistic image of Terminal D is that of a giant swan with outstretched wings.

There is an official multi-storey parking at Terminal D connected with the main building by means of a pedestrian bridge. The parking size is about 4100 lots, however it has a relatively dense layout.

Between 2014 and 2018, Terminal D used to be the only terminal at Sheremetyevo that was able to serve domestic flights. Even since new Terminal B was opened and commenced its services, Terminal D continues to operate non-Aeroflot domestic flights.

On 28 October 2018, Terminal D started handling all of Rossiya Airlines’ Moscow-originating domestic flights and its international service to Indonesia.^[46][47]

On 15 March 2022, Terminal D was closed until further notice. This was done because most international flights were cancelled as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[48]

Terminal E[edit]

Terminal E opened in 2010 as a capacity expansion project, connecting terminals D and F.^[49] The terminal’s construction has allowed for the development of terminals D and F, as well as the railway station, into a single south terminal complex. The terminals of this complex are connected by a number of pedestrian walkways with travelators, thus allowing for passengers to move freely between its constituent facilities. In December 2010, a new chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas opened on the second floor of Terminal E. The terminal is used for international flights, primarily by Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners. Terminal E has 8 jetway equipped gates. The V-Express Transit Hotel between security/passport check-ins provides short-term accommodations for passengers changing planes without having to present a visa for entering Russia. The hotel drew international attention in June 2013 when Edward Snowden checked into the hotel while seeking asylum.^{[citation needed]}

Terminal F[edit]

Opened on 6 May 1980 for Moscow’s Summer Olympics, Terminal F, previously Sheremetyevo-2, has 15 jetways and 21 remote aircraft stands. The terminal was designed to service 6 million passengers per year. Until the completion of the original Terminal C, it was the only terminal that serviced international flights. The design is a larger version of the one of Hannover–Langenhagen Airport by the same architects^[50] and constructed by Rüterbau, a company located in Hanover. All materials, except the bricks which came from Poland, and every piece of equipment, was transported from Germany to Moscow by lorry. A major reconstruction of the terminal and its interior space was completed by late 2009. For the convenience of passengers, the departures lounge and duty free zone were thoroughly modernised, whilst a number of partition walls were removed to create extra retail and lounge space.

It was announced that terminal F will be re-constructed after the construction of terminal C is completed.

Terminal G[edit]

In November 2019, it was announced that a new Terminal G will also be built. Construction is planned to begin in 2024.^[51]

Rail[edit]

Aeroexpress, a subsidiary of Russian Railways^[99] operates a nonstop line, connecting the airport to Belorussky station in downtown Moscow. A one-way journey takes 35 minutes. The trains offer adjustable seats, luggage compartments, restrooms, electric outlets. Business-class coaches available.
The service started in November 2004, when express train connection was established from Savyolovsky station to Lobnya station, which is 7 km (4.3 mi) from the airport, with the remainder of the journey served by bus or taxi. On 10 June 2008, a 60,000-square-metre (650,000 sq ft) rail terminal opened in front of Terminal F, with direct service from Savyolovsky station. A shuttle bus service ferried passengers to terminals B and C.^[100] From 28 August 2009, the line was extended to Belorussky station with plans to serve all three of Moscow’s main airports from a single point of boarding, and service to Savyolovsky station terminated.

Interterminal underground[edit]

The airport’s Automated Passenger Transportation System [Wikidata](APTS)^[101] connects the Terminal B and C with the Terminals D, E, F and the Aeroexpress railway station.^[102]

At the 1st floor of the Terminal B there is an entrance to Sheremetyevo 1 — the northern station. The entrance to Sheremetyevo 2 — the southern station — is at the passage between the terminals D and E.^[103]

The APTS is a part of the Interterminal underground passage [Wikidata] — a dual tunnel transportation system in the airport. One of the tunnels is dedicated to the transportation of people and featuring an automated people mover (APM).^[101][104] The other tunnel is used for automated baggage transportation.^[102][105]

Bus[edit]

Moscow can be reached by the municipal Mosgortrans bus lines: 817 to station Planernaya of Moscow Metro Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line (#7), 851 to station Rechnoy Vokzal of Zamoskvoretskaya Line (#2), departures every 10 minutes, travel time 33–55 minutes by schedule depending on the terminal served. At night time bus N1 (Russian: Н1) (departures every 30 minutes between 3am and 5:40am) connects the airport to Moscow’s Leningradsky Avenue, downtown area and Leninsky Avenue. Travel time 30–90 minutes, fare is 57 rubles (as of February 2021).^[106]

Other buses serve the connections to the nearby cities: Lobnya (route 21), Zelenograd, Khimki (routes 43,62), Dolgoprudny.

Road[edit]

The main road leading to the airport—Leningradskoye Highway—has experienced large traffic jams. Since 23 December 2014, a toll road to the airport has been opened. It connects with MKAD near Dmitrovskoe Highway. Now it is possible to reach the airport in ten minutes, avoiding traffic jams.^[107]

Official airport taxis are available from taxi counters in arrivals. Prices to the city are fixed based on zones.

Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO ^IATA) (Russian: Международный аэропорт Шереметьево) is one of the three main airports of Moscow and the main hub of Russian flag carrier Aeroflot.

Understand[edit]

Sheremetyevo Airport is north-west of the Moscow Ring Road. It is firmly associated with the Leningrad Highway, although it is geographically located to the east, and the village of Sheremetyevsk (now a microdistrict of the city of Dolgoprudny) that gave the name to the airport and is located at Dmitrovskoye highway, which almost no one uses to go to Sheremetyevo.

History[edit]

Sheremetyevo is usually perceived as the main Moscow airport. This phenomenon is rooted in the Soviet past, when all international flights were carried out from here. The first passenger flight from the airport took place on August 11, 1959. Built in the early 1960s, the terminal, later known as Sheremetyevo-1, was a monument of its era and, apparently, the first building in the Soviet Union reminiscent of the structure of modern airports with check-in and departure areas as well as cafe for passengers. The original technical solution was also the landing pavilion put out on the airfield — in the people there was a «glass» or «washer» — an escalator gallery connected to the terminal.

For the 1980 Olympics, a new terminal for international flights, Sheremetyevo-2 (now Terminal F) was built. With two terminals-Sheremetyevo-1 and Sheremetyevo-2 standing on opposite sides of the airport-it stayed for almost 30 years before the large-scale reconstruction of the late 2000s, when two new terminals (D and E) were opened near Sheremetyevo-2 and conducted a line railway. After that, the «center of operations» of the airport finally shifted to the south side of the flying field, and the former Sheremetyevo-1, overgrown with a pair of new, rather shed terminals, was given up for the destruction of low-cost and closed in 2015 due to their disappearance. Until mid-2018 with the reconstruction of Terminal B, passengers were served only by DEF terminals, with the northern side of the airport having its own uses. The old building of Sheremetyevo-1 was demolished together with the famous «saucer», in its place is the construction of a new terminal.

Sheremetyevo serves more than 30 million passengers a year, regularly changing places in the ratings with Domodedovo.

Structure[edit]

Unlike most modern airports, Sheremetyevo is divided into two clusters, which are on opposite sides of the airport: Terminals A, B and C, and Terminals D, E, and F. Terminal B is the Aeroflot domestic terminal. There are plans for Terminal C (now demolished) to be similarly revived for CIS flights.

In Sheremetyevo, there are two parallel runways just 300 m from each other. They are too close together to be used independently, and the airport’s capacity is far behind the number of terminals built in it. To solve this problem a third runway is planned to be built a couple of kilometers from the existing ones. Sheremetyevo is the most well-equipped airport in Russia, and the likelihood that you will be taken to a plane in a bus (rather than a jetbridge) is smaller than other airports, although it is still quite high, especially on domestic flights. In terms of infrastructure, the airport is quite diverse: there are, for example, relatively inexpensive power points, but they will have to be searched. Sheremetyevo is far from anything else: even to nearby hotels you have to go by taxi or book a transfer.

Information[edit]

The airport has an official Android app that, along with the flight schedule, contains a detailed diagram of the terminals with all the objects (up to the outlets) and the possibility to route from the current location to any object.

Flights[edit]

Southern Cluster[edit]

1 Terminal D. Serves domestic and international flights of Aeroflot. The huge building in shape resembles a plane and refers to the most interesting architectural solutions among post-Soviet Russian airports. All the registration is general and is on the 3rd floor, leading to a long corridor from the Aeroexpress station. To the counters there are often queues in which you can stand 20-30 minutes. Less expensive food points are on the 2nd floor (cafe-dining room «Mu-Mu») and on the 1st floor in the arrivals area (McDonald’s, Crumb-Potato). The quietest place is on the 2nd floor in the Mu-Mu area. In the left part of the terminal there is a small «clean» zone of the internal sector: there is always a throng, so there is no reason to come here in advance. The international «clean» zone, on the contrary, is quite spacious (and, in addition, it can be moved to an even more spacious terminal E). (updated Feb 2018)

2 Terminal E. International flights of Aeroflot and partner airlines. Not memorable, sometimes frankly shabby design is combined with relative lack of people: there are a lot of places, and there are not enough flights for landing. In the area of ​​check-in counters there is something like Sheremetev’s food court — several racks with quite decent food and common tables. In the clean zone there is an inexpensive «Burger King». Jul 2017 (updated Feb 2018)

3 Terminal F. One of the oldest buildings of the airport, formerly Sheremetyevo-2, was opened for the Moscow Olympics in 1980. The architecture of the terminal reflects the representations of that time about comfort and style. Once in the building there was a unique interior with metal pipes hanging from the ceiling and eternal semi-darkness. Unfortunately, many elements of the decor were removed during the reconstruction, but in the departure zone there were still characteristic lamps, from which literally blows the solemnity of those times when each flight by plane was an event — do not miss them. Strange, sometimes uncomfortable layout in the terminal, too, remained: the check-in desks are preceded by the point of inspection (that is, the inspection in this terminal needs to be done not twice but three times), but passport control is right behind the registration desks, so the distance in the terminal before the landing, here is minimal. From the terminal F, individual flights of Aeroflot and all the partners that are least liked by them fly. If you are in Terminal F — be sure to look for the staircase upstairs, where there is a good dining room, a restaurant overlooking the flying field and the airport museum. On the 1st and 2nd floors the infrastructure is the same as everywhere else. (updated Feb 2018)

4 Terminal Aeroexpress. Self-contained territory with two floors, densely packed with all sorts of cafes and shops. If you arrive or leave, the terminal needs to go right through. There are a lot of fast food outlets, by the standards of the airport are relatively cheap, and in the shops, you can buy everything from the tourist equipment to the scarves from Pavlovsky Posad. (updated Feb 2018)

Inside the southern cluster, the DEF terminals are connected both to each other and to the Aeroexpress terminal. Pass through the terminals between the terminals and there is a «clean» international zone: if you do not have enough free outlets in the «clean» zone D or F, look for them in the always deserted terminal E. Cheapest food in the «clean» zone — «Burger King» in the same terminal E with almost urban prices.

Northern Cluster[edit]

5 Terminal A. Used by business aviation. (updated Feb 2018)

6 Terminal B. Rebuilt in 2018, this terminal hosts Aeroflot domestic flights. (updated Feb 2018)

7 Terminal C. Closed, not used. Jul 2017 (updated Feb 2018)

Ground transportation[edit]

Rail[edit]

• Aeroexpress is the only rail link to the airport. Trains operate between the airport and the Belorussky Railway Terminal^{[dead link]} in the northwest section of the city centre. Trains depart every 30 or 60 minutes from 05:00 to 00:30. The journey takes 35 minutes and costs 500 руб one-way if you buy your ticket at the airport or 450 руб if you buy your ticket online or via mobile app in advance. Group travellers may also consider convenient group tickets: 850 руб for a couple or 950 руб for a group up to 4 people. Keep your paper or mobile ticket for the entire Aeroexpress journey. From the Belorussky Railway Terminal, the journey to the city center takes an additional 20 minutes by metro.

Bus[edit]

• Bus #851 (55 руб for a 90-minute transfer ticket purchased from the driver) and Bus #949 (80 руб) operate service between the terminals and the Rechnoy Vokzal Metro Station, at the northwest terminus of Metro Line 2 (dark green). If taking the regular bus, the driver hands you a red card, which you scan in order to get past the metal turning gate. The majority of drivers don’t speak any English, so don’t depend on them for assistance. Once you get off the bus, continue by foot a few steps in the direction the bus was going in, and you’ll see the metro station on your right in the first opening between the buildings. When returning to the airport, after leaving the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station, cross the street, go around the fence on the other side of the street and look for the bus under the orange-colored shopping center.
• Bus #817 (55 руб for a 90-minute transfer ticket purchased from the driver) or Bus #948 (80 руб) operate service between the terminals and the Planernaya Metro Station, at the northwest terminus of Metro Line 7 (purple). The journey by bus to the metro stations takes approximately 40 minutes and the journey to the city centre by metro takes an additional 40 minutes. Buses operate from approximately 05:30 to 00:45.
• Night Bus H1 operates every 30 minutes after the other buses have stopped. The bus operates between the airport and the Leninskiy Prospect Metro Station.

Taxis[edit]

• Fixed Price Official Taxis are available, with the price based on the destination neighborhood. A fixed price official taxi costs 1800 руб to the city centre. There is a toll of 100 руб for taking the highway to/from Sheremetyevo Airport.

Car[edit]

• Driving past the toll bar should be avoided whenever possible as there are fees to do so. In addition to entry charge of 100 руб/hour (rounded up to the next hour), after entering the toll bar, there is an extra charge from 100 руб/hour to 300 руб/hour, depending on the distance from the entrance and the comfort of parking—with an unofficial option of an unlimited-time stay for 300 руб. However, there are unofficial parking lots near the airport, with daily rates starting at 200 руб.

Get around[edit]

There is a lot of walking between the terminals of the southern cluster. The distances are no more than at any other major airport, but compared to the usual Russian airport — large: for example, from Terminal F to the far end of Terminal D, it takes 7-10 minutes. You can drive an electric car for 100 руб per person.

Between the southern and northern clusters: while earlier irrelevant, the opening of Terminal B has changed things. The airport built the Interterminal underground passage connecting B (designated as the Sheremetyevo-1 stop) with D, E and F as well as the AeroExpress station (Sheremetyevo-2). This free service uses APM four-car trains to shuttle passengers between the clusters in 4 minutes, with the first two cars for lanside transit (passengers who hav not been through security) while the last two are for airside transit (passengers that have cleared security). There is also a luggage passage between the clusters as well. This is the first time such tunnels have been built under active runways.

Before, the only way was to use bus 41 from the southern cluster to Lobnya or by the ferry lines 948 and 949 towards Terminal B. In the opposite direction buses 817 and 851 are added. Travel time: 20-25 min due to the curved route and frequent stops.

Wait[edit]

The airport has plenty of ATMs and currency exchange offices, duty free shops, a hairdresser, a pharmacy, and several overpriced cafes and basic restaurants.

Eat and drink[edit]

Buy[edit]

Connect[edit]

Unlimited free WiFi is available.

Cope[edit]

There are storage chambers in each terminal, usually in the basement or on the 1st floor. Cost: 500 руб for the first day and 250 руб for each subsequent (2018). In the Aeroexpress terminal, for some reason, more expensive, there are also automatic cells with an hourly rate (even more expensive). If you depart from Sheremetyevo, the registration for Aeroflot flights opens 24 hours before departure, so you can hand in luggage in advance, and no luggage storage is needed.

There are business halls in each terminal in the departure zone (after inspection). Standard price list: 3500 руб for 3-4 hours stay. In addition to business halls, there are so-called VIP-halls where registration is conducted in a separate room, then you are led to inspection and passport control without a queue, and if you are lucky, they are delivered directly to the aircraft. All this is paid extra.

Sleep[edit]

• 1 Novotel Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. If you have a layover at Sheremetyevo Airport, you may stay at here even if you do not have a Russian visa. Go to the ‘Transfer/Transit Without Visa’ desk upon arrival. You’ll be escorted to the hotel in a private bus and stay in a corridor with personal security guard. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. You’ll be picked up by Aeroflot staff about one hour prior to departure and the bus will bring you directly to the departure gate. The hotel offers rates for stays during the day, and overnight rates. (updated Feb 2018)

Список аэропортов

Аэропорт Шереметьево — один из трёх международных аэропортов, обслуживающих Москву. Находится на территории Химкинского городского округа Московской области. Расстояние от МКАД по Ленинградскому шоссе до терминала 1 — 13 км, до терминала 2 — 9 км.

Шереметьево — порт приписки национальной авиакомпании «Аэрофлот — Российские Авиалинии». Компания-эксплуатант аэропорта — ОАО «Международный аэропорт „Шереметьево“» (100 % во владении государством).

История

До второй половины 1950-х на нынешней территории аэропорта располагался аэродром ВВС СССР. Постановлением правительства страны 31 июля 1959 на базе аэродрома «Шереметьевский» был организован аэропорт «Шереметьево», а 12 августа 1959 аэропорт уже принял первый рейсовый самолёт Ту-104 из Ленинграда.

1 июля 1960 в аэропорт Шереметьево была переведена из Внуково международная авиагруппа, таким образом аэропорт получил статус международного. Располагая самолётами марок: Ту-104, Ил-14 и Ил-18, «Аэрофлот» выполнял из Шереметьево рейсы в 23 зарубежных государства. За первый год работы аэропорт обслужил 50 тыс. пассажиров и 3 тыс. тонн почты и грузов.

С 1961 из Шереметьево выполнялись специальные, чартерные и регулярные рейсы на Кубу, в США, в Канаду, Мексику, Аргентину и Австралию. 11 декабря 1964 на базе международной авиагруппы было создано транспортное управление международных воздушных линий, в состав которого вошли воздушные суда для обслуживания международных перевозок из аэропорта Шереметьево. К тому времени аэропорт одновременно принимал рейсы 20 зарубежных авиакомпаний.

В том же году был введен в эксплуатацию аэровокзал Шереметьево-1. Это сооружение по своей оригинальности стало в свое время лучшим из отечественных сооружений подобного типа. Архитектурной доминантой явилось посадочное здание, которое в народе получило название «рюмка» и ставшее изюминкой в облике Международного аэропорта Шереметьево на долгие годы.

К 1970 аэропорт Шереметьево являлся самым крупным в СССР. За год аэропорт обслуживал более 1 млн пассажиров, рейсы 60 авиакомпаний мира. Авиаперевозки росли, и пропускной способности Шереметьево-1 не хватало. В связи с этим 17 ноября 1977 был заложен первый камень в основание аэровокзала Шереметьево-2. Весной 1980 он был введен в эксплуатацию.

В 1985 аэропорт Шереметьево обслужил 3.5 млн пассажиров. Регулярные полеты в зарубежный страны выполнялись по 172 маршрутам в 122 пункта 97 стран мира. В этом же году был введён в эксплуатацию международный грузовой аэровокзал с пропускной способностью до 150 тысяч тонн различных грузов.

В настоящее время (осень 2007) в Международный аэропорт Шереметьево на регулярной основе совершают полеты более 70 авиакомпаний. Через шереметьевские терминалы проходят более 12 млн пассажиров в год. Это пятая часть общего количества пассажиров, отправленных из аэропортов Российской Федерации.

В первой половине 2000-х в Шереметьево начали ощущаться проблемы, связанные с нехваткой пропускной способности из-за повышения стандартов безопасности и очень неудобными средствами сообщения аэропорта с Москвой. Эти проблемы призвано решить строительство двух новых терминалов и железнодорожного сообщения до Савёловского вокзала (действует с 10 июня 2008) и Белорусского вокзала (планируется в 2009).

В марте 2007 открылся новый терминал C. Осенью 2008 года в здании терминала С открылась православная часовня.

В Международном аэропорту «Шереметьево» впервые в России установлена и успешно функционирует трехуровневая система автоматического досмотра багажа, в которой используются интроскопы последнего поколения MVT и многофункциональный томограф Examiner. В рамках обеспечения высокого уровня безопасности на входах в терминальные комплексы аэропорта действуют пункты досмотра пассажиров и посетителей. В следующих пунктах предполетного досмотра специалисты-эксперты, используя современные приборы по диагностике жидкостей, выявляют запрещенные к перевозке жидкости и жидкосодержащие вещества.

В целях профилактики авиационных происшествий и предупреждения актов незаконного вмешательства в «Шереметьево» также действуют такие системы безопасности, как:

• просвечивание багажа и ручной клади;
• интегрированная система видеонаблюдения;
• профайлинг (метод психологического тестирования);
• работа кинологической службы.

На начало 2009 г — Международный аэропорт «Шереметьево» — крупнейший российский аэропорт в части обеспечения регулярных международных перевозок (на его долю приходится более 60 % рынка).

«Шереметьево» сотрудничает с авиакомпаниями, представляющие альянсы Sky Team, Oneworld, Star Alliance. К 2015 году «Шереметьево» намерен стать лучшим аэропортом — хабом в Европе по качеству обслуживания пассажиров. Ожидается, что к 2015 году аэропорт будет обслуживать 35 млн пассажиров в год. Система менеджмента качества аэропорта сертифицирована по стандарту ISO 9001:2000.

Шереметьево-3

«Аэрофлот» пытался реализовать проект Шереметьево-3 начиная с января 2001 года. Однако строительство началось только в сентябре 2005 года, когда окончательно стало ясно, что дальше медлить нельзя: Шереметьево впервые начало уступать по количеству пассажиров быстро развивающемуся конкуренту Домодедово, и к нему из Шереметьево ушли два крупных международных авиаперевозчика British Airways и SWISS. Строительство собственного терминала для «Аэрофлота» является одним из условий вступления авиаперевозчика в SkyTeam Alliance — союз авиакомпаний Aeromexico, Air France, Alitalia, Continental Airlines, Delta, Korean Air, Northwest, China Southern. По проекту площадь нового терминала должна составить 195 000 кв. м, пропускная способность — 9 млн пассажиров в год. Открытие запланировано на лето 2009 года^[2]. Подрядчик строительства — турецкая компания

После введения терминала в эксплуатацию суммарная пропускная способность аэропорта достигнет (по подсчётам некоторых экспертов) 15 млн пассажиров в год.

Транспортное сообщение с Москвой

Железнодорожный транспорт

В рамках проекта Шереметьево-3 10 июня 2008 года было начато прямое пассажирское сообщение «Аэроэкспресс» между Савёловским вокзалом Москвы и аэропортом Шереметьево. Железнодорожная станция находится в зоне Терминала 2. Теперь пассажиры могут добраться от Москвы до Шереметьево всего за 35 минут. При вылете в терминале «Савёловский-Шереметьево» можно пройти регистрацию и оформить багаж для последующей его транспортировки в Шереметьево.

Ожидается, что с середины 2009 года поезда будут ходить от Белорусского вокзала столицы^[3]. Строительство железнодорожной ветки обошлось в 4,2 млрд руб., железнодорожного терминала рядом с Шереметьево-2 — примерно в 125 млн $. Для обслуживания линии у «Трансмашхолдинга» было закуплено четыре новых электропоезда стоимостью 250 млн руб. каждый.^[4]

Кроме того, планируется строительство линии Скоростной Транспортной Системы к Шереметьево-3 от комплекса «Москва-Сити».

Около 70 % всех рейсов выполняет Аэрофлот и его дочерние предприятия, на их долю приходится более 80 % внутрироссийских и две трети международных рейсов. Крупнейшим оператором после «Аэрофлота» являются ГТК «Россия» (5 % рейсов, все в Санкт-Петербург). Остальные компании представлены крупными национальными авиаперевозчиками, обслуживающими одно или несколько международных направлений, а также некоторыми российскими авиакомпаниями.
