Russian government closes Moscow‑Ostafyevo airport and abolishes border post
The Russian government officially closed Moscow‑Ostafyevo airport for flight operations, abolished its border‑control post and removed the airfield from the lists of jointly used and federal‑level airports.
Gazprom sold the airport complex to the city of Moscow in December 2025 for 2.724 billion rubles, and the site in New Moscow is slated for residential development and a technology park; the airport had mainly served business aviation and was the main base of Gazpromavia, with a history dating back to 1934 and international status since 2007.
