Sheremetyevo Concerns
DELAYS TO construction work at Moscow/ Sheremetyevo means its new runway may now not be completed in time for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup. The football tournament, which kicks off across Russia in June, is expected to welcome up to one million visitors, many of whom will arrive via the Moscow hub. This anticipated influx of traffic had prompted the airport to embark on an expansion project, increasing terminal capacity to 57 million per year, and adding a third runway and a supporting net work of taxiways.
