March 01, 2006

MOSCOW, March 1 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- EAST LINE Group -- Moscow Domodedovo Airport, operated by EAST LINE Group, expects its passenger traffic to more than double by 2015, with the forecast based on the positive dynamics of growth since 2001. In 2001, passenger throughput of the airport amounted only to 3,859,402 people. However, active investment campaign along with marketing strategy aimed at attracting new airlines and widening route network brought their solid results. In 2002, passenger traffic grew to 6,661,721 passengers (a 72.6% increase over 2001), in 2003 -- 9,364,162 passengers (40.6% growth against 2002), 2004 -- 12,066,793 (a 28.9% increase comparing with 2003). In 2005, overall passenger traffic of the airport reached 13,960,000 passengers, a 15.7% increase over 2004. Domodedovo became the leader in the Moscow aviation hub in terms of passenger throughput. Statistics for the period of 1991 through 2005 (passengers flown from airport) show that in the late 1990s EAST LINE Group broke a dramatic negative trend and the outgoing passenger traffic started to rise. According to the forecast unveiled by EAST LINE Group, in 2006 passenger traffic will reach 16,200,000 (16.1% year-on-year increase), in 2010 -- it will amount to over 22,000,000 passengers and in 2015 -- to about 30,000,000. EAST LINE Group's experts believe the trend of rapid expansion to strengthen in the future due to extension of the Domodedovo passenger terminal and, correspondingly, its passenger throughput capacity. Domodedovo has significantly extended a range of services available for airlines and air passengers. As a result, more international carriers have come to the airport since the beginning of 2005. Among them -- Iberia, China Eastern Airlines and Thai Airways International. Other airlines, like Qatar Airways and EL AL Israel Airlines have increased the frequency of flights to and from Domodedovo. Singapore Airlines launches scheduled service from Domodedovo International Airport on the route Moscow-Dubai-Singapore starting from 1 March 2006, while Italy's Wind Jet and Eurofly are to start making flights to Domodedovo in March and April. Singapore Airlines will be the 15-th regular international air carrier at Domodedovo International Airport. In December 2005, ACI Europe named Domodedovo the best performing airport in the Second group that includes airports with annual passenger traffic between 10 and 25 million passengers. Domodedovo has steadily occupied one of the three top positions in the rating of the second group since May 2005 and has been the leader in terms of passenger traffic growth since July 2005. December's general rating of the ACI Europe placed Domodedovo Airport on the 21st position. http://www.domodedovo.ru http://www.eastline.ru For more information, please contact: Vladimir Gushchin PR Manager Tel: +7-495-795-3427 Email: VladimirGushchin@eastline.ru SOURCE Domodedovo International Airport
