## Description

Around 13.9 million passengers used Moscow Domodedovo (IATA: DME, ICAO: UUDD) in 2025, an 11 percent fall from 15.5 million in 2024 and a fraction of the traffic this once-leading international gateway carried before 2022. The withdrawal of Western airlines under sanctions reshaped the airport, which now leans on domestic services from S7 Airlines and Ural Airlines, and in June 2025 it passed into Russian state ownership following a court ruling, leaving its operator burdened with debts in the tens of billions of roubles. For cargo, DME runs a dedicated terminal working around the clock, rated to handle more than 200,000 tonnes a year, with on-site customs clearance for imports and exports under IATA and Russian customs rules. International freight, however, has thinned considerably. Russia's largest air-cargo hub remains Sheremetyevo (SVO), about 85 km away with capacity up to one million tonnes, followed by Vnukovo. By road the airport sits on the M4 Don motorway some 45 km south of central Moscow, with the Aeroexpress train running from Paveletsky station. For forwarders weighing Moscow options, DME is a working but diminished cargo field best paired with SVO for international lift.
