A-Group (Booth H64) is celebrating the opening of its third hangar at Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport. The hangar recently welcomed its first aircraft, a Gulfstream G650.

Capable of accommodating up to eight business jets, the new hangar spans 6,100 sq m (65,659 sq ft). Inside facilities include a storage room for aircraft support equipment and personal belongings, and office space. The environmentally controlled hangar will also have 24/7 professional security services.

Located next to A-Group's business aviation terminal and helicopter pad, the hangar shares the apron of the FBO complex. With the other two hangars, A-Group’s facilities can accommodate up to 32 midsize business jets and encompasses 16,500 sq m (177,600 sq ft) of total space. This space is in high demand, the company said, especially during the Russian winters.

In addition to Sheremetyevo, A-Group operates two hangars at Saint Petersburg Pulkovo International Airport with a total space of 6,400 sq m (68,900 sq ft). The Pulkovo site has been ramping up for the St Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF), set for June 1-3.

A-Group is expecting a spike in traffic during SPIEF, given its proximity to the city and SPIEF. The FBO is located 15 km (9.3 miles) from the city center, while the Expoforum where SPIEF will take place is only 10 miles away. The facility has allocated parking space for the event on its apron. A helicopter transfer service is also available with a helipad located close to the Pulkovo VIP Terminal A. The terminal will provide a dedicated registration desk during SPIEF.
