Feb 10, 2016 (newstodate): Moscow's fourth international airport, Ramenskoye Zhukovsky Airport is soon to be opened for traffic.
All major construction and implementation works have now been completed, and plans are to open for air traffic from March 15, 2016.
The need for a fourth airport to relive congestion at airports in the Moscow region was imperative at the time the project was launched, but with the dampening of Russian air traffic since the imposition of sanctions on the country after the Crimean annexation and the participation in the war in Ukraine, the airport may face problems in filling its apron with customers.
The new international airport will primarily serve Russian institutions and ministries as well as low-cost traffic, and it will be implemented in three stages growing the airport from two million passengers in its first stage, continuing in stages to serve five mio passengers annually as well as comprising a range of other services including hotels and office space.
Ramenskoye Zhukovsky Airport has two runways, one of which is the longest in Europe - 5,400m.
