First and foremost, it means that we are continuing to develop and get better and more comfortable for our passengers. Today, our airport stands on the brink of huge transformations: a new runway and airfield infrastructure are under construction, and we are about to begin planning and building a new terminal in the northern part of the airport, as well as tunnels that will integrate distant terminals into a single complex. We also see this award as yet another sign of Russia and Russian companies’ growth, openness to innovation and best practices, and progress towards becoming leaders in their respective industries.”
Sheremetyevo has reconfirmed last year’s status as Europe’s best airport in terms of service quality.
