Aeroflot transfers some flights from Moscow Sheremetyevo to Vnukovo

It is quite strange to start talking about infrastructure limitations after only 4 years of operations. Terminal D of Sheremetyevo was inaugurated in 2009 exclusively for Aeroflot.
It is just 4 years into the life of the terminal and the passenger traffic is already more than 45% of its maximum capacity. It is totally safe to conclude that the forecast of passenger traffic was inaccurate.
Moving some of Aeroflot flights, which are serving leisure destinations, to Vnukovo would negatively affect the passengers of those flights. The idea that those flights are not connected with other flights is definitely a wrong assumption.

30 seconds with Vietnam Airlines

Sure, the quality of service in Sheremetyevo Airport is far less than its rival Domodedovo Airport. Moreover, Domodedovo takes the lead if we are talking about domestic connectivity. Considering the hardship of transfer between Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo, staying with Domodedovo is definitely a good idea. However, Vietnam Airlines is creating a gap in the vision of SkyTeam by flying to Domodedovo while its SkyTeam’s Aeroflot operates from Sheremetyevo.

Domodedovo: Another Russian IPO kicks the bucket

All problems of Domodedovo have started after the deadly blast of the airport in January 2011. In their pursuit to check the security measures applicable at the airport, the official Russian investigators had a problem tracing the chain of command at the airport, and consequently the exact ownership of the airport.
It seems that the terrorist, who detonated the explosives, unintentionally detonated another explosive at the future of the current airport ownership and created a big question mark about the airport.
It is strongly believed that the Russian Prosecutor General's report issued end of April 2011 has a negative impact on the idea of making Domodedovo Airport available for investors through IPO.
