SVO/UUEE Unveils Further Development Plans

Sheremetyevo Airport (UUEE) in Moscow presented its plans for further reconstruction. In anticipation of the third runway opening in early 2017, the company plans to build a new terminal on the North side by totally replacing and exterminating the aging Terminal B. The business jet routiniers would instantly recognize “B” by the roundish satellite on the apron and the General Aviation Center that served as the airport-authority-run FBO up to 2011.

It looks like these familiar Sheremetyevoo landmarks won’t be there anymore. The construction is to start in early 2015 and will be completed in 2017, just in time for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. It would entail extensive road network development and a new fast city train terminal that will function in alternate frequencies to the existing South side.

Now the apron adjacent to “B” offers most of the parking for the two functioning FBOs: Terminal A and Premieravia. It is planned that during construction the apron will be used predominantly by general aviation alleviating the pressures on the new apron in front of Terminal A in peak times.

Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners will move to this more modern and stylish facility under the old designator “B” and other alternative airline alliance could be invited to use the existing terminals F, E and D on the South side.

As it was advised previously, these are further plans of airport development that should complement the decisive improvement of the airport’s link to the city this December. A new toll highway is opening December 23 and a helicopter charter service to downtown Moscow will open at the helipad adjacent at Terminal A. This better link to the city shall elevate Sheremtyevo back into position as the prime gateway for Moscow for business jets.
