Vnukovo

Vnukovo is an administrative district in western Moscow that contains Vnukovo International Airport and several residential neighborhoods. The area combines airport infrastructure with established communities that feature parks, shops, and local services.

The district began developing in 1941 when a military airport was built during World War II. After the war ended, it gradually transformed into a civilian airport and expanded with residential communities around it.

The residential neighborhoods here are closely tied to aviation, as many people work in airport-related jobs and services. This connection shapes daily life and gives the area its distinctive character.

The district connects to central Moscow through the Aeroport Vnukovo metro station, which makes travel easy for airport passengers and residents. This metro line also links to other parts of the city, offering convenient access throughout Moscow.

Red Wings Airlines operates its headquarters here, making it one of the few Moscow districts that directly houses a major airline company. This presence gives the area a special role in the city's aviation industry.
