$50M Vnukovo Terminal Ready to Fly

If Sheremetevo does not drastically improve in the next few years,
I could see it becoming obsolete and unused shortly thereafter.
Domodedovo already handles the same traffic as Sheremetevo and
Vnukovo may soon steal a western carrier or two from Sheremetevo.

With our ever mounting budget deficit, I find it interesting that the US
government paid $325,000 for the feasibility study. If investors can
spend $50 million on a terminal, and $1.3 billion to expand the airport,
why do they need any US money?

Last time when I was in Vnukovo, it was not better than Sheremetyevo.

The airport that lost all scheduled traffic is Bykovo.

I think all the international traffic goes out of Shermetyevo. As far
as I know
the other two airports are all for domestic flights.

Plenty of international traffic out of Domodedovo and Vnukovo.
I think even Bykovo may have a flight or two to Ukraine.

No.. Domodedovo and Vnukuvo are both used for international flights.
In fact, BA stopped flying to SVO last summer and now flies to Domodedovo.
See http://www.britishairways.com/travel...public/en_ru#3

http://www.vnukovo-airport.ru/eng/ indicates the where foreign flights go.
