MASH, or Sheremetyevo International Airport, is the largest aviation complex in Russia. All flights of Aeroflot and well-known airlines depart from this airport. If we compare Sheremetyevo with other air gates, then the changes are obvious. A high-speed road has been built, the throughput capacity has been increased. This article fully describes the scheme of Sheremetyevo Airport, explains how to get to it and much more.
Safety and comfort
The safety of passengers is of great importance at Sheremetyevo. Baggage checks are carried out using the latest devices such as portal scanners, introscopes and tomographs. Of course, video surveillance is conducted throughout the entire territory of the aviation complex, thanks to which most crimes are reduced to nothing. And also throughout the complex there is security and specially trained dogs. Since the air complex is very large, many people can get lost in it. Specially for this, the employees developed a scheme of Sheremetyevo Airport. Even if you are lost, the station staff will always help you. For those who are afraid of getting lost, below is a map of Sheremetyevo Airport.
Just like safety, comfort is one of the mainpriorities of Sheremetyevo. The airport was the first in Russia to introduce a method of check-in for a flight via Skype. Moreover, mobile and online registration is available. Sheremetyevo has the largest duty-free in Russia. For those who fly in transit, there are capsule hotels where you can relax or work.

At the moment, construction work is underway on the territory of the entire aviation complex, and by 2020 everything will be completed. Each airport terminal is capable of handling 12 million people annually. It's about 40 million a year. To ensure the safety of people, the work of each employee is scheduled by the minute.
