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]
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.[ citation needed] Double-level passenger bridges were installed in May 2012, to support the Airbus A380 which will be used on some Emirates flights to Domodedovo. [13]
Domodedovo's rivals, Sheremetyevo International Airport and Vnukovo International Airport, are state-owned. [14]
