the New complex includes a cargo apron area of 90 thousand square meters, which will allow to serve at the airport up to four large cargo aircraft such as Boeing-747 or up to six medium-transport aircraft.

In this capacity, Zhukovskiy will compete with Sheremetyevo, which now is a major transit point for air cargo, says the chief expert of the Institute for transport Economics and transport policy HSE Fyodor Borisov. To withstand this competition, Zhukovsky need a large carrier, which will use it as part of the logistics chain. For example, goods can be supplied from Russia’s neighboring countries as well as transit from China to Europe and back.
