Moscow City Guide

Air
There are five primary commercial airports serving Moscow: Sheremetyevo International Airport, Domodedovo International Airport, Zhukovsky International Airport and Vnukovo International Airport. Sheremetyevo International Airport is the most common entry point for foreign passengers, handling sixty percent of all international flights.

Domodedovo International Airport is the leading airport in Russia in terms of passenger throughput, and is the primary gateway to long-haul domestic and CIS destinations and its international traffic rivals Sheremetyevo’s. The three other airports particularly offer flights within Russia and to and from states from the former Soviet Union.

Moscow’s airports vary in distances from MKAD beltway: Domodedovo is at 22 kilometres; Vnukovo is 11 kilometres and Sheremetyevo is 10 kilometres.

There are several smaller airports near Moscow, such as Myachkovo Airport, intended for private aircraft, helicopters and charters.
