Airport History
Sheremetyevo began as a Soviet-era airport development in the late 1950s and was established to serve Moscow’s growing aviation needs. It was originally developed as part of the capital’s broader airport system and later became one of the city’s principal international airports.
The airport expanded over time as Moscow’s air traffic increased and jet operations became more important. Additional terminal and airfield development supported the shift from a primarily state-oriented airport into a major civil aviation hub with growing domestic and international service.
In later decades, Sheremetyevo underwent major modernization to handle higher passenger volumes and more complex airline operations. New terminal construction and airfield improvements helped the airport adapt to transfer traffic and larger aircraft, while also separating functions across a larger terminal system.
Its current role reflects these successive phases of development. The airport now operates as a major hub for Moscow, with a route structure and terminal configuration built around both domestic connectivity and international traffic.
