This is a dual-runway international airport located 28 kilometers southwest of the center of Moscow. One of the major airports that serve Moscow, Vnukovo airport is the highest at 204 meters/ 669 ft. above sea level. Therefore, in cases of fog, it has frequently served as an alternative airport. The airfield has two intersecting runways of 3,500 meters and 3,060 meters in length. Each runway is 60 meters wide, with 10 meters wide safety shoulders on each side. The joint runway capacity is 60 aircraft movements per hour. Runway 24 is mostly used for departures, while runway 01 is generally used for arrivals.

The airport consists of three passenger terminals and the government VIP transport wing is located on the northern perimeter. This is busy with head-of-state flights for high-ranking government officials. Because of this, the airport is occasionally closed for regular flights when VIP flights arrive or depart.

Non-EU nationals that have bilateral agreements with the Russian Federation should contact their local Russian consulate to confirm the visa requirements.
