Cheap Flights to Moscow Domodedovo Airport (DME)

Although services began in 1964 when a Tupolev 104, the world’s first successful jet airliner, took off to Sverdlovsk, Moscow Domodedovo Airport officially opened in 1965.

18 months after the opening, a second runway, parallel to the existing one, was opened for service. As a result, Moscow Domodedovo Airport is the first airport in Russia to have parallel runways operating simultaneously.

Today, the airport is home to one terminal building comprised of two separate concourses for domestic and international departures respectively. A second and third terminal are under construction.
