## Sheremetyevo International Airport

TPS Avia has been the controlling shareholder of Sheremetyevo International Airport since 2016 when TPS Group announced an expansion of the Sheremetyevo International Airport to accommodate the 2018 World Cup.
Energo-System will be responsible for the construction project. TPS Group acquired 50% in Energo-Sistema for the duration of their construction project on Terminal B of Sheremetyevo International Airport. The project will cost $630 million.
Alexander Ponomarenko announced in 2018 that TPS Real Estate may sell a 10% stake in the airport to help finance the construction projects. In April 2018, the Russian transport minister was informed the new terminals would not be completed in time for the World Cup’s June 14 kickoff.
