Domodedovo's operating companies come into ownership of Sheremetyevo structure - Unified State Register

MOSCOW. Feb 13 (Interfax) - The operating companies of Domodedovo airport have come into the ownership of Perspektiva LLC, a subsidiary of JSC Sheremetyevo International Airport (SIA), according to materials from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

Now, 22 companies of Domodedovo Group (100% each) are owned by Perspektiva, including DME Holding LLC, Domodedovo Passenger Terminal LLC, Domodedovo Fuel Facilities LLC and a number of other LLCs.

At the end of January, Perspektiva won the privatization tender for the sale of Domodedovo, offering 66.13 billion rubles for the asset. A total of 25 companies under the airport's management were put up for tender: in addition to the 22 LLCs, there were three international limited liability companies (ICLLC) - Airport Management Company Limited, Hacienda Investments Limited and Verulia Investments Limited. In extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the founder of the latter three companies is still listed as the Russian state (represented by the territorial administration of the Federal Property Agency, Rosimushchestvo, in the Kaliningrad region).

After registering ownership of Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo plans to reorganize the airport's management system and also prepare a model for its development, Sheremetyevo CEO Mikhail Vasilenko told journalists. He did not specify the number of companies that may be abolished or consolidated. The board of directors will create a clear, unified group management structure, drawing on Sheremetyevo's experience, Vasilenko said, adding that management's task will be to bring the airport to break-even and profitable operations.

Until June last year, Domodedovo was controlled by businessman Dmitry Kamenshchik. By a decision of the Moscow Region Arbitration Court, the airport was levied in favor of the state. The lawsuit with such demands was filed by the Prosecutor General's Office, which claimed that Kamenshchik and the airport's second purported beneficiary, Valery Kogan, being residents of other states, disposed of the assets of a strategic enterprise and siphoned its profits abroad in violation of Russian legislation.
