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.

Aeroflot's A330 cabin a big step up

Being a Muscovite myself, I can not favor one of my airport-sons over the other two. They are equally doing well considering their respective ages and qualifications.
The point is that they are competing with each other to attract more air traffic. Considering the zero-sum game, the ultimate effect on Mother Russia will be almost the same unless there will be a significant increase in transit traffic.

Terminal 3 of Sheremetyevo

Well, the bottom line is whether these architectural achievements will reshuffle the rank of Sheremetyevo compared to the other Russian airports in Moscow. In other words, will Sheremetyevo take the lead over Domodedovo?

Aeroflot terminal to open in winter

The Russian Federation is eagerly waiting for the opening of Sheremetievo Terminal 3 for the sake of facelifting the international image of the airport.
According to Russia’s Transport Clearing House, Sheremetievo Airport handled 15,066,354 passengers during 2008. Considering the fact that the new terminal will be able to handle 12 million passengers a year, are we expecting congested operation during the early years of airport life?
