Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport closes two terminals, one runway, suspends investment projects
Sheremetyevo Airport has closed two international terminals and suspended the use of the third runway as part of anti-crisis measures due to reduced traffic, the airport press service reported. (www.airlinerwatch.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Buh-bye.
So just looked at Google maps of SVO. I realize these are not realtime, but even still it looks more like a parking lot than an active airport. A quick count showed about 30 craft at a gate, but only 12 were actually connected to a jetway. The rest were retracted. And without counting there looked to be maybe another 60-70 commercial craft parked around the site. Article said they had reduced operations during COVID, my guess this image was taken at that time, but still it's difficult to understand how this is a going concern. Any insights about SVO operations?
Google maps has for years been removing aircraft from airports and cars from roads with new updates. Go take a look at KEWR and you will see only one aircraft at a gate.
No, look at the pic. These aircraft are parked at gates. The jet bridge is just retracted for most. This is not Google removing items but airops parking/storing craft at a gate. Too many at the site to put them elsewhere so apparently mothballing gates as storage.
And the commie trolls are still parroting that the sanctions are having no effect. BWAAAAAAAHAHA!
Oh no!
Anyway...
