Last year, the airport introduced regular passenger services and this July a newly constructed, state-of-the-art air cargo terminal opened as well, equipped with sophisticated warehouse technology, and able to handle all kinds of cargo.
Sky Gates started to operate scheduled flights out of Frankfurt-Hahn, Baku and Zhengzhou to Moscow-Zhukovksy a total of three times a week, completing its Russian network, as it already serves Moscow-Sheremetyevo and Novosibirsk on a scheduled basis. The carrier also covers customs clearance and last mile delivery service within Moscow and the region, which is provided by its partner companies.
“This service is unique. Through modern technologies and online customs clearance proceedings, we can offer a truly integrated product, be it through Moscow Sheremetyevo as well as through Moscow Zhukovsky, covering a dedicated last mile delivery via ZIA,” comments Alexander Khmelevskikh, Sky Gates' General Director.
The new base at Moscow Zhukovksy International includes a 9,200 square metre modern cargo terminal with a temporary storage warehouse, customs infrastructure and storage areas for temperature-sensitive cargo and live animals. The apron with an area of 90,000 square metres will be able to serve four Boeing 747 type aircraft or six medium sized aircraft.
