Putin considers selling stake in Moscow airports
Reports indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved the sale of the government's 30.4% stake in Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow's largest airport, as part of efforts to bolster the country's financial resources. This follows the signing of a decree removing the airport from the official list of strategic enterprises, while retaining the right to challenge administrative decisions through the "golden share" owned by the state. The sale to foreign buyers is prohibited, and the purchaser is required to maintain the airport's core operations and complete ongoing modernization works. Sheremetyevo Airport, the largest in Russia with a capacity of up to 87 million passengers annually, handled approximately 43.5 million travelers in 2025 despite Western sanctions and flight restrictions. This move aims to strengthen the Russian government's resources amidst budget pressures resulting from the Ukraine war and high levels of financial deficit.
