The implementation of the Sheremetyevo’s underground interterminal passage was held along with the constant functioning of the busiest and the largest airport in the country. The tunnels were constructed under working runways. The passenger tunnel of interterminal passage will allow passengers to move between remote terminals within 5 minutes. The interterminal passage and all terminals and airport facilities will reduce transfer time to 50 minutes. This is especially important for the effective transfer operations of Aeroflot.
The commissioning of new facilities will significantly enhance the performance of Sheremetyevo airport and its terminal infrastructure. It allows accommodating arriving participants and guests of the FIFA-2018 World Cup and providing them with the best service.
