East Line Group (Russian: Группа Ист Лайн) is an airport infrastructure business in Russia. It operates Domodedovo International Airport near Moscow,[1] although the runways are controlled by the state.[2]

East Line was founded in 1992 as a cargo agent and freight forwarding business;[3] after gaining control of Domodedovo airport it reduced fees and improved ground transport to attract customers.[4][5]

East Line has recently reconstructed more airport facilities, and has continued to attract more passengers and more airlines.[6][7][8] Domodedovo is now the busiest airport in Russia;[9] there are plans to construct a third runway.[10]

Domodedovo's rivals, Sheremetyevo International Airport and Vnukovo International Airport, are state-owned.[11]

In December 2010, East Line displaced director Vyacheslav Nekrasov, following disruption at Domodedovo caused by electrical problems and severe winter weather.[12]
