New Heliport Is Part of Sheremetievo’s Plan To Challenge Vnukovo for Bizav Crown

Moscow FBO Avia Group has opened a helipad at the Russian capital’s Sheremetievo International Airport as part of its plan to offer a more viable alternative business aviation gateway to Vnukovo Airport. The company, which operates Terminal A as a business aviation center, is responding to rising demand for helicopter transfers in and out of the airport, especially in view of the heavy road traffic in surrounding areas.

“With this and other steps we are increasing the spectrum of services available to our clients by giving them the possibility to combine various means of transportation so as to make more efficient use of their precious time and to increase their mobility,” commented Avia Group general director Mikhail Semenov. He predicted that the new helipad will see around 10 to 15 flights each day.
