Sheremetyevo International Airport ({{lang-rus|links=yes|Международный аэропорт Шереметьево||ʂɨrʲɪˈmʲetʲjɪvə}}, Internal code: ШРМ) {{Airport codes|SVO|UUEE}} is one of four international airports that serve the city of Moscow. It is the busiest airport in Russia and Post-Soviet states, as well as the ninth-busiest airport in Europe. Originally built as a military airbase, Sheremetyevo was converted into a civilian airport in 1959.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/ |script-title=ru:Международный аэропорт Шереметьево |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-05-09 |archive-date=22 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200422202149/https://www.svo.aero/ |url-status=live }} The airport was originally named after a nearby village, and a 2019 contest extended the name to include the name of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.{{cite web |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/sheremetyevo-named-for-pushkin-in-national-airport-s-454162/ |title=Sheremetyevo named for Pushkin in national airport scheme |last=Kaminski-Morrow |first=David |date=2018-12-05 |website=Flightglobal.com |access-date=2019-07-26 |archive-date=6 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190506193827/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/sheremetyevo-named-for-pushkin-in-national-airport-s-454162/ |url-status=live }}

The airport comprises six terminals: four international terminals (one under construction), one domestic terminal, and one private aviation terminal.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/sheremetyevo-today |title=Sheremetyevo today |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-05-30 |archive-date=30 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530024759/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/sheremetyevo-today |url-status=live }} It is located {{convert|29|km|abbr=on}} northwest of central Moscow, between the towns of Lobnya and Khimki in Moscow Oblast.

In 2019, the airport handled about 49.9 million passengers.{{cite news |title=Международный аэропорт Шереметьево |url=https://www.svo.aero/ru/press_center/press_releases/sheremetyevo-airport-served-over-49.9-million-passengers-in-2019 |access-date=9 January 2020 |work=www.svo.aero |publisher=JSC Sheremetyevo International Airport |date=9 January 2020 |language=ru}} Sheremetyevo serves as the main hub for Russian flag carrier Aeroflot as well as its subsidiaries Rossiya Airlines and Pobeda, for Nordwind Airlines and its subsidiary Ikar, and for Smartavia.

History

= Soviet era =

The airport was initially built as a military airfield called Sheremetyevsky ({{lang|ru|Шереметьевский}}), named after a village of the same name, as well as the nearby railway station of the same name. The decree for the construction of the Central Airdrome of the Air Force near the settlement of Chashnikovo on the outskirts of Moscow was issued on 1 September 1953 by the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. The airport became operational on 7 November 1957 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution.{{cite web |url=http://www.pravdareport.com/history/03-06-2010/113645-sheremetyevo-0/ |title=Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport Appeared as Top Secret Military Object |access-date=4 February 2016 |archive-date=10 May 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170510110911/http://www.pravdareport.com/history/03-06-2010/113645-sheremetyevo-0/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1950 |title=1950s / Sheremetyevo International Airport |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-05-28 |archive-date=28 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190528234528/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1950 |url-status=live }}

In August 1959, the Council of Ministers made a decree to terminate the airbase's use for military purposes, where it would be handed over to the Principal Directorate of the Civil Air Fleet to be converted into a civilian airport. Sheremetyevo's civilian purposes started on 11 August 1959 when a Tupolev Tu-104B landed at the airport from Leningrad.File:Sheremetyevo-1 (3447417963).jpg

The first international flight took place on 1 June 1960 to Berlin Schönefeld Airport using an Ilyushin Il-18.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1960 |title=1960s / Sheremetyevo International Airport |website=www.svo.aero |access-date=2019-05-28 |archive-date=28 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190528234527/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1960 |url-status=live }} Sheremetyevo was officially opened on the day after, where a two-story terminal occupying {{convert|1820|m²|abbr=|}} was commissioned. On 3 September 1964, the Sheremetyevo-1 terminal was opened. Of that year, 18 foreign airlines had regular flights to Sheremetyevo, with up to 10 different types of aircraft involved. By the end of 1964, Sheremetyevo handled 822,000 passengers and 23,000 tons of mail and cargo, including 245,000 passengers and 12,000 tons of cargo that were transported internationally. Soon, by the end of 1965, a majority of international flights to the USSR was achieved through Sheremetyevo thanks to Aeroflot's air traffic agreements with 47 countries.

In the early 1970s, a second runway was constructed at Sheremetyevo, with the first airliner to land being an Ilyushin Il-62.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1970 |title=1970s / Sheremetyevo International Airport |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-05-29 |archive-date=29 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529004508/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1970 |url-status=live }} In preparation for the 1980 Summer Olympics, construction of a second terminal for Sheremetyevo, Sheremetyevo-2, was approved by the Ministry of Civil Aviation in early 1976. Construction of Sheremetyevo-2 started on 17 November 1977.File:RIAN archive 866468 Sheremetevo-2 international airport.jpg|alt=]]

On 1 January 1980, Sheremetyevo-2 was put into operation, with a capacity to serve an annual 6 million passengers, or 2,100 passengers per hour.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1980 |title=1980s / Sheremetyevo International Airport |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-05-29 |archive-date=29 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529004511/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1980 |url-status=live }} Despite this, its official opening ceremony was held much later, on 6 May 1980. During the Olympics, Sheremetyevo served more than 460,000 international passengers.

On 11 November 1991, Sheremetyevo International Airport received its legal status as a state-owned enterprise, amidst the dissolution of the Soviet Union.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1990 |title=1990s / Sheremetyevo International Airport |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-05-29 |archive-date=29 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529010858/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/1990 |url-status=live }} On 9 July 1996, Sheremetyevo became an open joint-stock company. In 1997, the airport renovated one of its runways with a {{Convert|30-35|cm|abbr=on}} thick concrete surface.

In the early 2000s, Sheremetyevo saw growing competition from the rapidly expanding Moscow Domodedovo Airport, which was more modern and convenient to access, and the neighbouring Vnukovo Airport.{{cite web |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/domodedovo-reborn-159836/ |title=Domodedovo reborn |date=2003-01-01 |website=Flightglobal.com |access-date=2019-05-29 |archive-date=29 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529010905/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/domodedovo-reborn-159836/ |url-status=live }} Sheremetyevo saw 24 of its airlines, notably domestic airlines such as Sibir, KrasAir, Transaero, Pulkovo Airlines, and UTAir, as well as international airlines Air Malta, Adria Airlines, Swiss, British Airways, and Emirates, move their services to Domodedovo.{{cite web |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/fast-growing-east-line-considers-airlines-future-168510/ |title=Fast-growing East Line considers airline's future |date=2003-07-08 |website=Flightglobal.com |access-date=2019-05-29 |archive-date=29 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529010858/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/fast-growing-east-line-considers-airlines-future-168510/ |url-status=live }} As a result, Aeroflot pushed for a third terminal for the airport, Sheremetyevo-3, to increase the airport's passenger capacity as well as be able to fulfill its requirements to join Skyteam.

In the late 2000s, Sheremetyevo oversaw rapid planning and expansion of the airport.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/2010 |title=2000s / Sheremetyevo International Airport |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |script-title=ru:Международный аэропорт Шереметьево |access-date=2019-05-29 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617010155/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/2010 |url-status=live }} On 12 March 2007, the airport opened Terminal C to maximise the airport's international passenger capacity. On 5 March 2008, the airport renovated its second runway to receive all types of aircraft, including the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. An Aeroexpress line was constructed between Sheremetyevo and Savyolovsky Railway Station on 10 June 2008, quickening traveling time from the airport to central Moscow in 30 minutes. In January 2009, Sheremetyevo finalised a master plan where it would increase passenger capacity to an annual 64 million per year and build a second airfield with a third runway. On 15 November 2009, construction of Terminal D was completed, with a total surface area of {{convert|172000|m²|abbr=|}}, an annual capacity of 12 million passengers, and operation being putting forth in the beginning of next year. Sheremetyevo-2 was renamed Terminal F on 25 December 2009 with terminal identification using international (Latin) lettering.

Expansion of Sheremetyevo continued into 2010.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/2000 |title=2010s / Sheremetyevo International Airport |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-06-17 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617010154/https://www.svo.aero/en/about/airport-history/2000 |url-status=live }} Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March. Terminal E was opened on 30 April, connecting Terminal D and Terminal F and increasing the airport's capacity to 35 million passengers per year. In June, construction started for Terminal A, a private aviation terminal. In July, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, F, and the Aeroexpress railway terminal on the public access side.{{cite web |url=http://svo.aero/en/between-terminals/south/ |title=Transfer between terminals of the South Airport Complex - D, e, F |access-date=2010-07-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100728063150/http://www.svo.aero/en/between-terminals/south/ |archive-date=2010-07-28}} In November, a walkway opened between Terminals D, E, and F on the security side.{{cite web |url=http://svo.aero/en/news/2010/1694/ |title=Sheremetyevo International Airport Launches Walkway between Terminals D and E |access-date=2 June 2015 |archive-date=1 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150601030752/http://svo.aero/en/news/2010/1694/ |url-status=live }} Both of have simplified transfer between transit flights. Ultimately, after the northern the recent construction work, the airport now has the capacity to receive more than 40 million passengers annually.

On 28 March 2011, a separate airfield that would serve as Sheremetyevo's third runway was approved. On 13 December 2011, the Federal Agency for State Property Management approved an agreement that merged the airport operators OAO Terminal (operator of Terminal D) and OJSC Sheremetyevo, consolidating control of the airport under one entity. On 26 December 2011, a new area control centre (ACC) was opened for Sheremetyevo, consolidating operations of the airport's different control centres to increase efficiency.{{cite web |url=http://www.airport-technology.com/features/featuresheremetyevos-amc-an-investment-in-efficiency |title=Sheremetyevo's AMC: an investment in efficiency |date=28 February 2012 |access-date=2 June 2015 |archive-date=23 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151023091559/http://www.airport-technology.com/features/featuresheremetyevos-amc-an-investment-in-efficiency/ |url-status=live }} The situational centre was also created as part of the ACC for joint work of top-managers, heads of state bodies, and partners of Sheremetyevo to resolve emergencies.{{cite web |url=http://www.ruaviation.com/docs/1/2011/12/29/49/print/ |title=The new control centre of Sheremetyevo airport – Russian Aviation |publisher=ruaviation.com |access-date=2 June 2015 |archive-date=24 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924092535/http://www.ruaviation.com/docs/1/2011/12/29/49/print/ |url-status=live }}

On 30 December 2013, TPS Avia successfully won a competitive tender to develop Sheremetyevo International Airport's northern area, including a new passenger terminal, a new freight terminal, a refuelling area and a tunnel linking the passenger terminal to three other terminals.{{cite web |url=https://www.moodiedavittreport.com/heinemann-partner-tps-avia-set-to-strengthen-sheremetyevo-stake/ |title=Heinemann partner TPS Avia set to strengthen Sheremetyevo stake |date=2 July 2014 |publisher=The Moodie Davitt Report |access-date=28 March 2018 |archive-date=29 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180329054040/https://www.moodiedavittreport.com/heinemann-partner-tps-avia-set-to-strengthen-sheremetyevo-stake/ |url-status=live }}

Terminal B, previously Sheremetyevo-1, was demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a newer and more modern terminal, which began in October 2015. By the end of 2015, Sheremetyevo surpassed its competitor Domodedovo as Russia's busiest airport, serving 31.28 million passengers, compared to Domodedovo's 30.05 million.{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-reclaims-title-of-russias-busiest-airport/ |title=Sheremetyevo reclaims title of Russia's busiest airport – Russian aviation news |last=Insider |first=Russian Aviation |date=2016-01-27 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-06-17 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617012823/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-reclaims-title-of-russias-busiest-airport/ |url-status=live }} This trend continued in 2016, where Sheremetyevo saw growth while Vnukovo and Domodedovo showed losses in passengers.{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevos-traffic-continues-to-increase/ |title=Sheremetyevo's traffic continues to increase – Russian aviation news |last=Insider |first=Russian Aviation |date=2016-08-19 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-06-17 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617012823/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevos-traffic-continues-to-increase/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-only-moscow-airport-to-show-growth/ |title=Sheremetyevo only Moscow airport to show growth – Russian aviation news |last=Insider |first=Russian Aviation |date=2016-06-20 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-06-17 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617012820/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-only-moscow-airport-to-show-growth/ |url-status=live }} A growing number of airlines launched new operations to Sheremetyevo, such as Tianjin Airlines, Tunisair, Nouvelair, and Air Malta, which back in the 2000s moved its operation to Domodedovo.{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-remains-moscows-only-growing-airport/ |title=Sheremetyevo remains Moscow's only growing airport – Russian aviation news |last=Insider |first=Russian Aviation |date=2017-01-20 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-06-17 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617012822/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-remains-moscows-only-growing-airport/ |url-status=live }}

In February 2016, TPS Avia combined its assets with Sheremetyevo Airport and committed to invest US$840 million to upgrade and expand the airport's infrastructure – as a result TPS Avia secured a 68% stake in Sheremetyevo Airport.{{cite web |url=http://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/44644-investors-express-interest-in-moscows-stake-in-aeroflot |title=Investors express interest in Moscow's stake in Aeroflot |publisher=ch-aviation |access-date=11 March 2016 |archive-date=12 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312065841/http://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/44644-investors-express-interest-in-moscows-stake-in-aeroflot |url-status=live }} Part of the plan includes demolishing Terminal C for a newer reconstruction of the terminal, which came to effect on 1 April 2017. File:MosObl SVO Airport asv2018-08 img1.jpgSheremetyevo International Airport was the official airport of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sheremetyevo completed re-construction of its first northern terminal, Terminal B, in May 2018, to handle more passengers for the tournament.{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/new-domestic-terminal-russias-biggest-airport-becomes-operational/ |title=New terminal opens for business at Russia's biggest airport – Russian aviation news |last=ES |date=2018-05-11 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-06-21 |archive-date=21 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621230415/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/new-domestic-terminal-russias-biggest-airport-becomes-operational/ |url-status=live }} In 2018, the Airport reported revenues of €194.9 million, a 6% increase year over year. Profit increased 7.4% year over year. These increases are attributed in part to increased air traffic due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.{{cite web |url=https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-international-airports-revenue-up-by-6/ |title=Sheremetyevo International Airport's Revenue Up By 6% |date=3 September 2018 |publisher=Russia Business Today |access-date=9 September 2018 |archive-date=10 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180910060940/https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-international-airports-revenue-up-by-6/ |url-status=live }}

In late 2018, SVO enacted a series of changes to its flight traffic. Aeroflot subsidiary Rossiya Airlines announced the transfer of its flights from Vnukovo to Sheremetyevo starting 28 October 2018.{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/rossiya-airlines-transfers-sheremetyevo/ |title=Rossiya Airlines transfers some flights from Vnukovo to Sheremetyevo |last=ES |date=2018-09-04 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-06-21 |archive-date=21 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621223241/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/rossiya-airlines-transfers-sheremetyevo/ |url-status=live }} British Airways also launched direct flights from London Heathrow to Sheremetyevo on the same day.{{cite web |url=https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-international-airport-launches-direct-flights-from-london-heathrow-to-moscow/ |title=Sheremetyevo International Airport Launches Direct Flights from London Heathrow to Moscow |date=31 October 2018 |publisher=Russia Business Today |access-date=16 January 2019 |archive-date=19 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119174229/https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-international-airport-launches-direct-flights-from-london-heathrow-to-moscow/ |url-status=live }} Syria-based Cham Wings Airlines began direct flights from Damascus to SVO in November 2018 as well.{{cite web |url=https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-direct-flights-damascus-cham-wings-airline/ |title=Sheremetyevo Airport Offers Direct Flights to Damascus on Cham Wings Airline |date=13 November 2018 |publisher=Russia Business Today |access-date=16 January 2019 |archive-date=19 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119121225/https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-direct-flights-damascus-cham-wings-airline/ |url-status=live }} In December 2018, following the results of the Great Names of Russia contest, Sheremetyevo was named after the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The ceremony took place on 5 June 2019, which was the 220th anniversary of Pushkin's birth year. The airport is now officially named Sheremetyevo Alexander S.

In 2019, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) began testing an automated passport control system at SVO. This system relies on biometric data and foreign passport recognition to allow Russian passengers to move through border control with fewer movement restrictions. If successful, the FSB may implement this system in other Russian airports.{{cite web |url=https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-airport-tests-automated-passport-control/ |title=Sheremetyevo Airport Tests Automated Passport Control |date=6 February 2019 |access-date=4 March 2019 |archive-date=14 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190914083043/https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-airport-tests-automated-passport-control/ |url-status=live }}{{Update inline|date=September 2022}}

Fraud

{{Main article|Troika laundromat}}

OCCRP reports that the airport has been used for laundering money. It purchased fuel from a broad network of middlemen between 2003 and 2008, which greatly increased the price. Court records show that just in 2006 and 2007, phantom corporations made at least $200 million in pointless markups. The scam cost the Russian government approximately 1 billion rubles ($40 million) in missing tax income. The cost of fuel increased, which also increased the cost of airline tickets for the general people.{{Cite web |last=Zotter |first=Christoph |last2=Nikbakhsh |first2=Michael |last3=Radu |first3=Paul |date=2019-03-05 |title=Death in Vienna |url=https://www.occrp.org/en/troikalaundromat/death-in-vienna |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331114636/https://www.occrp.org/en/troikalaundromat/death-in-vienna |archive-date=2023-03-31 |access-date=2023-09-30 |website=OCCRP |language=en}}{{Cite news |date=2019-03-04 |title=Report: Huge Money-Laundering Scheme By Russia's Largest Investment Bank |language=en |work=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty |url=https://www.rferl.org/a/money-laundering-scheme-set-up-run-by-russia-s-largest-investment-bank-occrp-says/29802833.html |access-date=2023-09-30}}

Terminals

{{More citations needed section|date=June 2019}}

Sheremetyevo International Airport has four operating passenger terminals and one special terminal reserved for the use of private and business aviation. The airport's four passenger terminals are divided into two groups based on geographical location: the Northern Terminal Complex and the Southern Terminal Complex. The current terminal naming system was introduced in December 2009; previously, the terminals were numbered: Sheremetyevo-1 (now Terminal B), Sheremetyevo-2 (now Terminal F), and Sheremetevo-3 (now Terminal D).

Opened on 16 January 2012, Terminal A handles servicing of business and private aviation out of Sheremetyevo. The terminal occupies an area of {{Convert|3000|m2|ft2|abbr=}} and can carry an annual capacity of 75,000 passengers.

==Terminal B==

Terminal B – originally named Sheremetyevo-1 – has two iterations.{{cite web |url=http://www.svo.aero/en/news/2009/1361/ |title=Sheremetyevo to Apply Literal Identification of Terminals |access-date=2 June 2015 |archive-date=1 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150601030154/http://www.svo.aero/en/news/2009/1361/ |url-status=live }}

The first iteration was constructed and opened on 3 September 1964. The terminal, as Sheremetyevo-1, was known for its "flying-saucer"-like design, and was nicknamed "shot glass" by locals. Being {{Convert|200|m|ft|abbr=}} long and {{Convert|40|m|ft|abbr=}} wide, as well as having a volume exceeding {{Convert|100000|m3|ft3|abbr=}}, the terminal can hold up to 800 people per hour. Formerly serving international flights, Sheremetyevo-1 would transition to serving domestic flights.{{cite web |url=https://waytorussia.net/Moscow/Sheremetyevo.html |title=Sheremetyevo (SVO) Airport |date=2009-11-05 |website=Way to Russia Guide |access-date=2019-07-26 |archive-date=26 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190726180324/https://waytorussia.net/Moscow/Sheremetyevo.html |url-status=live }} Along with other Sheremetyevo terminals that underwent Latin lettering conventions, Sheremetyevo-1 was renamed Terminal B on 28 March 2010. Terminal B was then demolished in August 2015 to be reconstructed as a larger and more modern terminal which began in October 2015.{{cite web |url=http://www.ato.ru/gallery/images/stanciya-mezhterminalnogo-perehoda |title=Станция межтерминального перехода |date=26 October 2016 |access-date=31 July 2017 |archive-date=1 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170801112723/http://www.ato.ru/gallery/images/stanciya-mezhterminalnogo-perehoda |url-status=live }}

The new terminal B commenced its operations on 3 May 2018, with the Aeroflot's flight to Saratov. All airlines that have domestic flights from Sheremetyevo and some flights of Aeroflot began shifting to Terminal B from Terminal D. Compared to the previous terminal B, that was demolished, new terminal will have an increased passenger capacity of 20 million passengers and will serve domestic flights only. As of November 2018, Aeroflot has consolidated all of its domestic services at Terminal B, with the exception of flights to far eastern destinations in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Flights to the eastern Russian shore and some short-haul (including all domestic flights served by widebodies) continue out of SVO's Terminal D.{{cite web |url=https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/aeroflot-consolidates-its-domestic-services-at-one-sheremetyevo-terminal/ |title=Aeroflot Consolidates Its Domestic Services at One Sheremetyevo Terminal |date=27 November 2018 |publisher=Russia Business Today |access-date=16 January 2019 |archive-date=19 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119122906/https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/aeroflot-consolidates-its-domestic-services-at-one-sheremetyevo-terminal/ |url-status=live }}

The terminal is connected by an interterminal underground passage with Sheremetyevo's southern terminals and the Aeroexpress railway station.{{cite web |url=https://footballcitymediacenter.com/news/20180406/1080127.html |title=Sheremetyevo Airport reports on the construction progress of World Cup facilities |publisher=Football City Media Center |access-date=15 January 2019 |archive-date=19 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119121417/https://footballcitymediacenter.com/news/20180406/1080127.html |url-status=live }}

==Terminal C==

File:SVO Terminal C inside 01.jpg

On 12 March 2007, Sheremetyevo opened the former Terminal C for the servicing of international charter flights to maximize location convenience for all areas in the airport.{{cite web |url=https://www.svo.aero/ |script-title=ru:Международный аэропорт Шереметьево |website=www.svo.aero |language=ru |access-date=2019-05-12 |archive-date=22 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200422202149/https://www.svo.aero/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-terminal-c-to-triple-capacity/ |title=Sheremetyevo Terminal C to triple capacity – Russian aviation news |last=Insider |first=Russian Aviation |date=2016-10-25 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-05-12 |archive-date=12 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190512225934/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-terminal-c-to-triple-capacity/ |url-status=live }} Located adjacent to the former Terminal B, Terminal C served from 5 to 6 million passengers. The role of Terminal C diminished as passengers for international flights for the airport were distributed among Terminal D and Terminal E.{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-terminal-c-close-reconstruction/ |title=Sheremetyevo Terminal C to close for reconstruction – Russian aviation news |last=Insider |first=Russian Aviation |date=2017-03-29 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-05-12 |archive-date=12 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190512225936/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/sheremetyevo-terminal-c-close-reconstruction/ |url-status=live }} As part of Sheremetyevo's long-term redevelopment plan, Terminal C was closed on 1 April 2017 to be demolished for construction of a newer terminal.

Integrated with the now-reconstructed domestic Terminal B, the new Terminal C was designed to serve up to 20 million passengers.{{cite web |url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/moscows-sheremetyevo-airport-wins-approval-new-terminal-c-project/ |title=Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport wins approval for its new Terminal C project – Russian aviation news |last=ES |date=2018-07-04 |website=Russian Aviation Insider |access-date=2019-05-12 |archive-date=12 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190512231457/http://www.rusaviainsider.com/moscows-sheremetyevo-airport-wins-approval-new-terminal-c-project/ |url-status=live }}

The first section of the new Terminal C opened on 17 January 2020, with a planned capacity of 20 million passengers. It is called Terminal C1, and some international flights were transferred to that new terminal. Another part called Terminal C2 is scheduled to be opened in 2026, and will add another 10 million passengers capacity.{{cite web |title=Шереметьево запаслось терминалами |url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4224991?from=main_6 |website=Kommersant |date=18 January 2020 |access-date=2020-01-18 |archive-date=7 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807075419/https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4224991?from=main_6 |url-status=live }}

==Terminal D==

File:20190221 160906 Sheremetyevo Airport terminal D February 2019.jpg

Terminal D, opened in November 2009, is adjacent to Terminal F. The {{convert|172000|m2|abbr=on}} building is a hub for Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners, with capacity for 12 million passengers per year.{{cite web |url=http://www.moodiereport.com/document.php?c_id=1178&doc_id=21546 |title=Moscow Sheremetyevo T3 opening slated for November; Russian chain Rosinter rounds out food & beverage offer 25/08/09 – TheMoodieReport.com |access-date=2 June 2015 |archive-date=22 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722181623/http://www.moodiereport.com/document.php?c_id=1178&doc_id=21546 |url-status=live }} Aeroflot had been trying to implement the project of a new terminal (Sheremetyevo-3) since January 2001. However, construction only began in 2005, with commissioning of the complex finally taking place on 15 November 2009. The acquisition of its own terminal was a condition of Aeroflot's entry into the SkyTeam airline alliance, thus necessitating the construction. The main contractor for the build was a Turkish company Enka. Terminal D has 22 jetways and 11 remote stands. On 15 November 2009 at 9:15 a.m., the first flight from Terminal D (the new official name of Sheremetyevo-3) departed for the southern resort city of Sochi. Despite this, Aeroflot took a number of months (due to unexpected administrative delays) to transfer all of its international flights from Terminal F to D (a full transfer was originally planned for February 2010).{{cite web |url=http://www.russia-ic.com/news/show/9575/ |title=Transfer of international flights to the Sheremetyevo Terminal D delayed once more |website=www.russia-ic.com |access-date=2 June 2015 |archive-date=25 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170925132423/http://www.russia-ic.com/news/show/9575/ |url-status=live }} Whilst previously Terminal D had remained a separate legal entity from the rest of Sheremetyevo Airport, in spring 2012, it became an integrated unit of "Sheremetyevo International Airport" JSC. As part of the deal, Aeroflot, VEB Bank, and VTB Bank, all of which had invested in the construction of Terminal D, became part shareholders in the airport as a whole. The basis for the architectural and artistic image of Terminal D is that of a giant swan with outstretched wings.

File:SVO Terminal D inside 01.jpg

There is an official multi-story parking at Terminal D connected with the main building by means of a pedestrian bridge. The parking size is about 4100 lots, however it has a relatively dense layout.

Between August 2015 and May 2018, Terminal D used to be the only terminal at Sheremetyevo that was able to serve domestic flights. Even since new Terminal B was opened and commenced its services, Terminal D continues to operate non-Aeroflot domestic flights.

On 28 October 2018, Terminal D started handling all of Rossiya Airlines' Moscow-originating domestic flights and its international service to Indonesia.{{cite web |url=https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-will-now-be-handling-more-flights-for-rossiya-airlines/ |title=Sheremetyevo Will Now Be Handling More Flights For Rossiya Airlines |date=3 September 2018 |publisher=Russia Business Today |access-date=15 January 2019 |archive-date=10 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180910030245/https://russiabusinesstoday.com/travel-and-tourism/sheremetyevo-will-now-be-handling-more-flights-for-rossiya-airlines/ |url-status=live }}

On 15 March 2022, the Terminal D was closed caused by dramatic passenger traffic decrease. On {{date|2024-6-1}} terminal was reopened. As of October 2024 it serve flights operated by Pobeda and Smartavia.

==Terminal E==

Terminal E opened in 2010 as a capacity expansion project, connecting terminals D and F.{{cite web |url=http://www.svo.aero/en/map/ |title=Official website – Airport Map |access-date=31 July 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100130065943/http://svo.aero/en/map/ |archive-date=30 January 2010}} The terminal's construction has allowed for the development of terminals D and F, as well as the railway station, into a single south terminal complex. The terminals of this complex are connected by a number of pedestrian walkways with travelators, thus allowing for passengers to move freely between its constituent facilities. In December 2010, a new chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas opened on the second floor of Terminal E. The terminal was used for international flights, primarily by Aeroflot and its SkyTeam partners. Terminal E has 8 jetway equipped gates. The V-Express Transit Hotel between security/passport check-ins provided short-term accommodations for passengers changing planes without having to present a visa for entering Russia. The hotel drew international attention in June 2013 when Edward Snowden checked into the hotel while seeking asylum.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

In March 2020, Terminal E was closed due to a decrease in passenger flow and due to COVID-19 in Russia.

==Terminal F==

File:Sheremetyevo F terminal (31867447248).jpg

Opened on 6 May 1980 for Moscow's Summer Olympics, Terminal F, previously Sheremetyevo-2, has 15 jetways and 21 remote aircraft stands. The terminal was designed to service 6 million passengers per year. Until the completion of the original Terminal C, it was the only terminal that serviced international flights. The design is a larger version of the one of Hannover–Langenhagen Airport by the same architectsHeinz Wilke, *18. Oktober 1927 in Pommern; † 19. Juni 1992 in Hannover and constructed by Rüterbau, a company located in Hanover. All materials, except the bricks which came from Poland, and every piece of equipment, was transported from Germany to Moscow by lorry. A major reconstruction of the terminal and its interior space was completed by late 2009. For the convenience of passengers, the departures lounge and duty free zone were thoroughly modernised, whilst a number of partition walls were removed to create extra retail and lounge space.

It was announced that terminal F will be re-constructed after the construction of terminal C is completed.

On 30 December 2021, at 0:00 by Moscow Time, the terminal F was closed for reconstruction.

== Terminal G ==

In November 2019, it was announced that a new Terminal G will also be built. Construction is planned to begin in 2024-2025.{{cite web |url=https://www.aviation24.be/airports/moscow-sheremetyevo-svo/aeroflot-transfers-its-international-flights-to-new-sheremetyevo-terminal-from-january-2020/ |title=Aeroflot transfers its international flights to new Sheremetyevo terminal from January 2020 |newspaper=aviation24.be |date=26 November 2019 |access-date=13 December 2019 |archive-date=13 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213033537/https://www.aviation24.be/airports/moscow-sheremetyevo-svo/aeroflot-transfers-its-international-flights-to-new-sheremetyevo-terminal-from-january-2020/ |url-status=live }}
