Aeroexpress and Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo & Vnukovo Airports
Aeroexpress was founded in 2005 and is the only operator of the railway service that runs between the three main airports in Moscow; Vnukovo International, Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo. The railway also connects the Moscow’s main railway stations.
The company is made up of LLC Delta-Trans-Invest, JSC Russian Railways plus some private investors. Their activity is centred on the millions of passengers who use Moscow’s airports. Aeroexpress plays an important role in the smooth transportation of passengers and in solving road network congestion and environmental issues. The main roads are heavily overloaded and the railway acts as the only realistic transport option for the airport’s travellers.
The first electric train came into use in 2008. At present the railway connects these three stations:
• Belorussky – Sheremetyevo International Airport
• Kievsky – Vnukovo International
• Paveletsky – Domodedovo International
• Savelovsky (Lobnya city)
It takes around 35 to 45 minutes to travel to any of the three main airports by Aeroexpress. The company has its own rolling stock which is built at the Demikhovskybuilding plant. The trains provide safe and comfortable travel and makes up to 180 journeys per day.
Aeroexpress are members of the International Air Rail Organisation (IARO) and have been since 2009. The company also forms part of the construction of the largest railway station in Europe “Kalanchevsky” which will be located in Kalanchevskaya and is due to open in 2016. The new terminal will act as a hub and will connect the city centre and Moscow’s three main airports. This new station will help with the smooth redistribution of passenger flows around Moscow.
