Domodedovo International Airport (DME/UUDD) is one of Russia's busiest and largest airports, located approximately 42 kilometers south of central Moscow. It has historically competed with Sheremetyevo for the title of Russia's busiest airport by passenger traffic, consistently handling tens of millions of passengers annually.
The airport underwent significant modernization and expansion in the 2000s, with a major terminal redevelopment that improved capacity and passenger experience. It serves as a hub for numerous domestic and international carriers and is a key node in Russia's aviation network.
