History of the airport

It was built in 1934 as a departmental institution under the NKVD. Subsequently (before the war) the airport was transferred to the disposal of the USSR Ministry of Defense.

Despite the status of a military facility, in the post-war years, civilian cargo and passenger flights were formed from the airport to almost all corners of the Union.

At this time, OJSC Gazprom became a co-owner of Ostafyevo Airport. Over the course of 3 years, with the support of the company, large-scale reconstructions were carried out and in 2000 the airport was reopened for passenger traffic.

Ostafyevo is the main air port of Gazprom, and the hub of the subsidiary GazpromAvia.

Attempts to close the airport

At the end of the 90s, the Moscow government tried to close the airport, since the construction of another microdistrict of Yuzhny Butovo was planned in its place. And already built areas are located in the noise pressure zone. However, Gazprom “won” it from officials.

What will happen to the airport?

Today Ostafyevo Airport has a low daily throughput. In this regard, a set of measures has been developed to improve the quality of service and expand the airport’s material and technical base.

Thus, a project to modernize the main runway has already been adopted. The length will be increased to 2.5 km, and the surface will be changed to a more modern one.

In addition to the main strip, taxiways and parking areas will be updated. There will be an increase in parking spaces and boarding and disembarking aprons.
