History

[citation needed] Services from Domodedovo started with a flight to Sverdlovsk (present Ekaterinburg) using a Tupolev 104 in March 1964. The airport, aimed to handle the growth of long-distance domestic traffic in the USSR, was officially opened in May 1965. Second runway, parallel to the existing one, was put into service 18 months after the opening of the airport. On 26 December 1975, Domodedovo Airport was selected for the inaugural flight of Tupolev Tu-144 to Alma Ata.

Since 1996, Domodedovo Airport has been operated by East Line Group on a 75-year lease, although the runways continue to be controlled by the state. The group has been heavily investing in reconstruction of the airport, arranging for customs to be more convenient and the airport to be kept clean. Because of various issues at Sheremetyevo, British Airways, Qatar Airways, Swiss International Air Lines, and Austrian Airlines moved their flights from there to Domodedovo. They were followed by Emirates, Brussels Airlines and Thai Airways International. Meanwhile, Aeroflot had moved some cargo operations to Domodedovo. DME is Russia's first airport to have parallel runways operating simultaneously. Since the air traffic control tower was redeveloped in 2003, DME can control over 70 take-offs and landings an hour. The airport now has five business departure lounges, set up by individual airlines. BA opened its Navigator Club Lounge in 2003. It is fully equipped with Wi-Fi Internet access, food and drink concessions, showers, a cloakroom and massage chairs.The airport is also the hub of some of Russia biggest airlines like S7 Airlines which is the biggest airline tenant in the airport as well as Kras Air and Transaero.

In the first nine months of 2004, international passenger flow at DME increased by 52.8% compared to the same period in 2003. Domestic passengers and cargo volumes also increased significantly, making DME one of the world's key airports. DME benefits hugely from its close proximity to the Russian capital, enhanced by its transportation networks. The airport has 13,600ha of land reserved around its immediate vicinity, allowing the potential to develop a further seven runways.

Future expansion

[citation needed] East Line is currently doubling the terminal space to 225,000 square metres and announced to invest a further US$300 million into construction and upgrades in the next two years.The 97,600m² Passenger Terminal (T1) at DME is set to increase in size by 27,000m² in the first stage of expansion which will be designated as T2 (this will be a dedicated international terminal). This first expansion will allow an enlarged space for the check-in area and departure gates.


The first phase of T2 is due to be completed by the end of 2006 and will allow an extra capacity of 7 million passengers per year. This will then be followed by a phase two expansion of T2 which will increase the overall size of the passenger terminal to 225,000m³. This is scheduled for completion by 2012. DME can currently handle 14 million passengers per year (2005 figures). More than 12 million passengers passed through the airport in 2004, a 30% increase on 2003. Once the expansion is complete, the airport expects to have an annual capacity of 30 million to 35 million passengers and be one of Europe's largest airports. 2012 (MMXII) will be a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


By 2012 the new domestic T3 terminal will be completed, increasing DME's capacity to between 24 million and 28 million passengers per year, approximately double its current capacity.Once T4 is built, the airport's capacity is estimated to accommodate 30 million to 35 million passengers on an annual basis.All terminals will remain connected.
