The third runway of the Sheremetyevo airport after its commissioning will receive night flights in a limited mode. This is stated in the explanatory note to the draft law of the Ministry of Transport, which concerns the procedure for establishing aerodrome territories in Russia, Interfax reports.
Restrictions on takeoff / landing at night are introduced due to the proximity of settlements. "The location of the strip near the large settlements of Lobnya (5 km), Skhodnya (3 km), Zelenograd (5 km) will not allow its full use - due to high levels of aircraft noise, the number of flights at night will have to be limited," the agency quotes explanatory note of the Ministry of Transport published on the regulation.gov.ru portal.
In the summer of 2017, a federal law was adopted that obliged airports to establish seven sub-zones with varying degrees of restrictions on use on their aerodrome territories (land within a radius of 30 km). In the first, the most severe, it is possible to build only objects to ensure air traffic, in the seventh, limited development is possible if the level of aircraft noise exceeds the permissible level and is harmful to health. For the fact that restrictions on use are imposed on land and real estate, the airport must pay compensation to their owners. Residents of houses who find themselves in the zone of aircraft noise exceeding the permissible level will be able to demand resettlement also at the expense of airports.
In the fall of 2018, the International Airports Association reported that there are no civil aviation airports in Russia where an aerodrome territory would be established. The main reason is that the procedure for calculating damage compensation due to restrictions on the use of land and real estate has not been determined.
Earlier it was planned that the launch of RWY-3 would allow the airport to increase the number of takeoff and landing operations from 55 to 90 per hour. However, due to the imposed restrictions, the number of malware during the night period will be less than the calculated one.
The third runway at Sheremetyevo has been under construction since 2009. Initially, it was planned to put it into operation by the beginning of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
In October 2018, the head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Alexander Neradko said that WFP-3 could start working in March 2019. According to him, the biggest problems during the construction of the strip, which influenced the timing, were associated with the transfer of gas and oil pipelines. In December, the general director of the airport, Mikhail Vasilenko, announced its opening in April 2019.
On January 10, 2019, the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) opened a case against the companies PJSC Transstroymekhanizatsiya and CJSC Trest Kamdorstroy, which formed a cartel during the construction of runways at several airports, including Sheremetyevo.
According to preliminary data of the FAS, the cartel's income amounted to more than 25 billion rubles. - these are 6-7 airports that fell into the scope of consideration. "Today this is the largest case in the construction industry," said Andrei Tenishev, head of the FAS anti-cartel department.
The company Transstroymekhanizatsiya, a member of the Mostotrest group, has been the general contractor for the construction of the third runway at Sheremetyevo since 2015 by the order of the Government of the Russian Federation; the contract with it was estimated at 17.6 billion rubles. At the end of 2016, the airport no longer had enough funds - it took, according to various estimates, from 5 to 13 billion rubles to continue the construction of runway-3. In June 2017, the Minister of Transport Maxim Sokolov announced that the deficit of funds for the construction of the facility in 2018 was 7.5 billion rubles. In October 2017, Transstroymekhanizatsiya received another contract for 3.2 billion rubles.

The third runway is planned to be commissioned on September 1. Andrey Nikulin, First Deputy General Director for Production at Sheremetyevo International Airport, spoke about this.
"The deadline set by the Ministry of Transport and the Federal Air Transport Agency is September 1," Nikulin said.
The third runway will increase the airfield's capacity from 55 to 90 takeoff and landing operations (VPO) per hour. In addition, the runway-3 hangar complex with an aviation-technical base will be put into operation in 2020. The complex is planned to include at least seven hangars for servicing the aircraft of partner airlines, parking for special ground handling equipment and airfield services.

The third runway of the Sheremetyevo airport after its commissioning will receive night flights in a limited mode. This is stated in the explanatory note to the draft amendments of the Ministry of Transport to the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation, which concerns the procedure for establishing aerodrome territories in Russia. The project was published on the official portal of draft normative legal acts regulation.gov.ru.
Restrictions on takeoff / landing at night are introduced due to the proximity of settlements. "The location of the strip near the large settlements of Lobnya (5 km), Skhodnya (3 km), Zelenograd (5 km) will not allow its full use - due to high levels of aircraft noise, the number of flights at night will have to be limited," explanatory note of the Ministry of Transport.
On the same day, the Ministry of Transport disavowed the meaning of the explanatory note. The use of the new, third runway at the Sheremetyevo airport will be carried out without any restrictions, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Transport reported.
"The Ministry of Transport does not agree with the wording of some media about the use of the third runway of the Sheremetyevo airport. Its operation will be carried out without any restrictions thanks to the application of measures to reduce aircraft noise. This will be achieved through the introduction of new technologies for air traffic services, including procedures maneuvering in the airfield area. These technologies provide for precise adherence to the specified flight paths - the aircraft performs the flight exactly according to the established scheme, without deviations, including over residential buildings, "the Ministry of Transport said.

Construction of runway-3 at Sheremetyevo August 12, 2016
From August 12, through traffic on the Perepechinskoye highway, connecting the Leningradskoye highway with the village of Perepechino, through the construction zone of the new runway of the Sheremetyevo airport, has been closed.
Jul 28, 2016 Free transfer
On July 27, in connection with the construction of the third runway of the Sheremetyevo airport, it was planned to close the Perepechinskoe highway. Part of the road will be dismantled, and the rest will be converted into runways and taxiways. However, the historical event never happened. It is still possible to drive here. But the barrier supports are already being mounted. Construction of the third runway and taxiways is in full swing. Perepechinskoe highway will be closed only when the backup road is ready. This will not happen until August 10, the date is not official and, as practice has already shown, changes are possible.
Jul 19, 2016 Free transfer
From July 27, 2016, it is planned to block traffic on Perepechinskoye highway in order to implement the project “Development of the Moscow aviation hub. Construction of a new runway (RWY-3) of the Sheremetyevo International Airport, Moscow region, "the Federal Air Transport Agency reports. At the moment, the Perepechinskoe highway is crossing the future runway, as well as taxiways leading to the existing airfield. For the prompt continuation of large-scale production works at the facility, it is necessary to decommission the Perepechinsky highway and the subsequent dismantling of the highway.
June 6, 2016
The head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Alexander Neradko held a meeting on the construction of the third runway at Sheremetyevo airport. Alexander Neradko noted that the contractor of the project Transstroymekhanizatsiya LLC, having started construction just six months ago, set a high pace of work, which, if kept, will allow us to introduce a third lane for the 2018 World Cup.
Runway-3 construction site with the intersection of Perepechinsky highway The meeting participants discussed issues related to the implementation of the project at the current stage. Representatives of Transstroymekhanizatsiya LLC informed about the construction and installation work carried out since the beginning of the year, and also announced the company's readiness to significantly expand their front. All the necessary conditions have been created for this: there is the required amount of human resources, construction equipment and materials. However, the increase in the volume of construction is complicated by the fact that the traffic on the Perepechinskoye highway has not yet been closed, which, in fact, crosses in half the future runway and taxiways leading to the existing airfield. For the speedy deployment of large-scale production works, the highway should be partially decommissioned in the very near future. This issue will be resolved at joint meetings of all interested parties during the current month.
It will be a great success if they manage to launch Runway-3 by the end of the year, says a top manager at a major airport. Indeed, a month before the 2018 World Cup, in mid-May, all construction sites will have to be closed at the request of the FSB - the facilities will begin to prepare for receiving the guests of the championship, to check their safety, the source adds.
The chairman of the board of directors of Sheremetyevo, Alexander Ponomarenko, told Vedomosti that it is critical for the airport that the runway-3 is launched in 2018 so that the airport can stop operating the badly worn-out runway-1 and begin its repairs. The launch of RWY-3 will increase the number of takeoff and landing operations at the airport from 55 to 90 per hour.
Bankrupt contractors
After the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, many large road construction companies that had competence in the construction of airfields went bankrupt: Inzhtransstroy (the first contractor of runway-3 at Sheremetyevo, the contract with it was terminated by the Federal Air Transport Agency in 2015 for being behind schedule ; was a member of Oleg Deripaska's Basic Element), Yefim Basin's Inzhtransstroy Corporation, Omsk NPO Mostovik, Sochi Tunnel Detachment - 44. They built Olympic facilities, which, due to a careless assessment, turned out to be much more expensive than government contracts, so as not to disrupt the deadlines, companies invested their money in the construction, counting on subsequent compensation, contractors told Vedomosti. But the state paid nothing extra.
Representatives of Rosaviatsia, Sheremetyevo and Transstroymekhanizatsiya (contractor) declined to comment.
There is a risk of not being in time with a simpler and less problematic facility - the second runway at Domodedovo (runway-2) worth 12.85 billion rubles. The airport has two lanes under construction to replace one in operation, which will become the taxiway. WFP-2 is 80% ready, but the contractor (Construction Department - 1) does not have the funds to work, the Federal Air Transport Agency reported. In 2016, SU-1 was declared bankrupt, a monitoring procedure was introduced, it is difficult for it to attract working capital, to receive advances from the Federal Air Transport Agency, a federal official explains. At such a high degree of readiness, it is impossible to find a new contractor, SU-1 will complete the construction of the facility itself, but, apparently, they will launch it after the World Cup, the source adds. A person close to the Ministry of Transport also knows about a possible launch after the championship.
“Following the meeting, the Ministry of Transport gave instructions on the completion of the airfield facilities as part of the preparation program for the 2018 World Cup. The airport completes on time a comprehensive project to increase the capacity of the airport terminal, ”says a representative of Domodedovo.
“Airports will be able to host World Cup guests without these lanes, and facilities have been included in the training program to guarantee uninterrupted funding. It was secured, but contractors faced problems, ”recalls a federal official.
Corrected version. In the penultimate paragraph, the comment of the representative of "Domodedovo"
The project for the construction of the third runway at Sheremetyevo airport will not be completed by the World Cup, sources in the industry told AviaPort. However, Sheremetyevo will cope with the transportation program during the football championship within the framework of the existing infrastructure, and the commissioning of the third lane is more connected with the need to close one of the existing runways for repairs. Therefore, the responsible persons were given a deferral until the end of the year, but this time - without the right to delay.
The third runway at Sheremetyevo airport will definitely not be put into operation for the World Cup in Russia, four independent sources in the industry told AviaPort. The Federal Air Transport Agency and its subordinate Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Administration of Civil Airports (Airfields)" declined to comment.
The construction of runway-3 is part of the Sheremetyevo infrastructure development project, which also includes the construction of a passenger terminal for domestic air lines (Terminal B) and a cargo terminal on the territory of the so-called northern terminal complex (STK), a refueling complex and an inter-terminal crossing, which, passing under airfield, will connect the southern and northern terminal zones of the airport. "Construction work continues at the facility," the AGA (A) FSUE (A), which controls the construction of the strip, reported on December 15. The general contractor is Transstroymekhanizatsiya (part of the Mostotrest group of companies), it was not possible to contact a representative of the construction organization.
The timing of the construction of the strip was shifted several times. Lack of funding was identified as a key problem. In November, the Vedomosti newspaper, citing sources, reported that the cost of the project had increased to 64.1 billion rubles. At the same time, the source of additional funds has not yet been determined: various options are being discussed, up to the allocation of the necessary amounts through the FSUE "State ATM Corporation" subordinate to the Federal Air Transport Agency. Judging by the statements of the head of the Ministry of Transport Maxim Sokolov, which he made in an interview with RNS in September, this option was considered a priority.
But there is no urgent need for high-quality provision of air transportation during the football championship in the third lane. Sheremetyevo said that "the airport will be able to provide the transportation program [for the World Cup] using the available runways." According to AviaPort, under favorable weather conditions, the strips can provide up to 65 takeoff and landing operations per hour, while cases have already been noted when more than 60 takeoffs and landings were actually serviced per hour. But the expected increase in the number of HPOs due to the admission of teams and fans, which will peak in mid-July, will be less than the annual increase in the number of HPOs in late August and early September, when holidaymakers return en masse from their vacation spots.
However, the commissioning of RWY-3 is much more important not to ensure the transportation program during the World Cup in the summer of 2018, but to close one of the existing runways for repairs (we are talking about RWY-1, which is the closest to the southern zone of Sheremetyevo). The sources of "AviaPort" find it difficult to name the repair time frame: according to them, with various restrictions, the strip can be in operation until the first half of 2019. The closure of RWY-1 will significantly affect the capacity of Sheremetyevo, the interlocutors fear, including due to the remoteness of RWY-3 from the main aircraft parking areas, but so far they have not provided specific estimates.
However, in 2018, runway-3 should not only be completed, but also put into operation, according to an industry source. He noted that at a recent meeting in the Ministry of Transport, the responsible persons were promised serious personnel decisions if this deadline could not be met.
