flag Russia to auction off Domodedovo Airport in 2026 after seizing it in 2024 over foreign ownership.

flag Russia plans to re-privatize Domodedovo Airport, Moscow’s fourth-busiest, via an open auction in early 2026, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov confirmed. flag The airport was seized in June 2024 after a court ruled its owners were foreign residents, lacking legal authority to manage it. flag The government cited flawed 1990s privatizations as justification, part of a broader trend since 2022 involving the seizure of Western assets like Danone and Uniper. flag The airport, now under state control, reportedly faces $880 million in debt. flag While officials say preparations for the auction are complete, details on bidders or sale terms remain unclear. flag Critics say such actions harm investor confidence and long-term economic stability.
