East Line Group (Russian: Группа Ист Лайн) is an airport infrastructure business in Russia. It operates Domodedovo International Airport near Moscow,[1] although the runways are controlled by the state.[2]
Overview
[edit]
East Line was founded in 1992 as a cargo agent and freight forwarding business;[3] after gaining control of Domodedovo airport it reduced fees and improved ground transport to attract customers.[4][5]
In 1993–1994, East Line Group, founded by Urals entrepreneurs Anton Bakov and Dmitry Kamenschik,[6] who built capital in the early 1990s on hauling cargo from Asian countries to Russia, invested in several facilities at Domodedovo, including a new customs terminal and catering services.[7]
In December 2010, East Line displaced director Vyacheslav Nekrasov, following disruption at Domodedovo caused by electrical problems and severe winter weather.[8]
East Line has recently reconstructed more airport facilities, and has continued to attract more passengers and more airlines.[9][10][11] Domodedovo is now the busiest airport in Russia;[12] there are plans to construct a third runway.[13] Double-level passenger bridges were installed in May 2012, to support the Airbus A380 which will be used on some Emirates flights to Domodedovo.[14]
Domodedovo's rivals, Sheremetyevo International Airport and Vnukovo International Airport, are state-owned.[15]
