Moscow Airport Rivals Race to Catch Up With Demand

......
"The fastest growing of the three airports, Domodedovo saw traffic soar
30 percent last year to 12.1 million passengers. The southern Moscow
airport is now breathing heavily down the neck of its main competitor,
Sheremetyevo, which last year handled 12.8 million passengers."

So much for those people still clinging to the obsolete belief that SVO
is *the* Moscow airport. Since Swiss currently flies to Domodedovo,
I hope the new Lufthansa/Swiss organization will fly 100% from it.

SVO wants to build T-3 and a railway connection.

DME railway connection needs a second track between Aviatsionnaya and
Aeroport.

The authorities have been "wanting" to do that for years. As that
article stated, only the groundbreaking happened at SVO for the third
terminal. SVO management is hopelessly Soviet and shows no signs
of improving any time soon.

DME railway connection needs a second track between Aviatsionnaya
and Aeroport.

But there is one good track between Domodedovo and Paveletskaya
Station, so travelers can arrive in Moscow and connect to the metro
or any train station without doing much walking at all. That is so much
better than the situation at SVO, especially the joke they call passport
control.

Regarding history it's rather correct, Domodedovo is the "historical"
Moscow airport; and Vnukovo, south-west of Moscow, the government
airport, but possibly some domestic civilian flights land there.

There is a fourth airport at Bykovo, south-east of Moscow, but I doubt
any commercial flights use it.

Also in Nizhnie Kotly, if arriving by normal elektrichka.

Sure. However, the train line is congested on the section cited
hereabove and it isn't easy to add departures.

Err, not sure about this.

Many.

No scheduled flights now. There used to be.
