The Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport (Russian: Шереме́тьево, English: Sheremetyevo) is an airport in the metropolitan area Moscow, it is named after the nearby village of Sheremetyevo.
background
Originally the airport was a base for the Soviet transport planes. Sheremetyevo-I was used as Moscow's international airport from 1959 and has been used as a terminal for national connections since the opening of Sheremetyevo-II on March 3, 1980.
The name Sheremetyevo today refers to two airports with three terminals each, which use the same runways but are otherwise separate from each other:
Terminals A (planned), B and C (SVO-A, SVO-B and SVO-C) in the north (formerly Sheremetyevo-I) are now mainly used for national air traffic and also to the Baltic states
Terminals E and F (SVO-D, SVO-E and SVO-F) in the south (formerly Sheremetyevo-II) are now used for international air traffic.
