Domodedovo, Russia

Relocating to Domodedovo is not for the faint of heart. As Russia's 4th busiest airport, handling over 60 million passengers per year, the city is a transportation hub but also a site of heightened security concerns - two terrorist attacks have occurred at the airport since 2004. While the airport has expanded rapidly, with its terminal space more than doubling to nearly 500,000 square meters, the bureaucracy around the facility's ownership and management appears to be a persistent headache. With the airport recently nationalized and slated for sale, the future direction of this important gateway is uncertain. Domodedovo may appeal to those drawn to Russia's aviation industry, but for most, the combination of logistical challenges and safety worries make this city a tough sell.
