Overview
- Perspektiva LLC, a subsidiary of Sheremetyevo Airport, was confirmed as the winning bidder at roughly 66–66.1 billion rubles, according to PSB Bank and auction records.
- The buyer must sign the contract within five business days and complete transfer within 30 days after payment, with a 26.45 billion ruble deposit at risk if it fails to close.
- The public descending-price auction started near 132.3 billion rubles; five bids were submitted, two were admitted, and only Perspektiva ultimately participated, while Vnukovo’s affiliate said it was ready to match the price but did not outbid.
- Russia’s Transport Ministry called Domodedovo a heavily indebted asset that needs substantial capital and a clear development plan, and it signaled support for the new owner’s initiatives.
- Sheremetyevo’s CEO said the purchase used the airport’s own funds without borrowing and pledged stable operations, wages, and job security for Domodedovo staff.
