About Sheremetyevo International Airport

Moscow Sheremetyevo faces harsh Russian winters with snow and ice. Generally light turbulence once airborne.

Is Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport turbulent?

Moscow's continental climate brings harsh winters with heavy snow and summer thunderstorms. Russian airports are well-equipped for winter operations, maintaining service through conditions that would close airports elsewhere. Fog can affect operations during autumn and spring transitional periods.

How does Moscow handle winter weather?

Russian airports invest heavily in winter infrastructure including de-icing facilities, heated runways, and experienced snow removal crews. Moscow expects snow from October through April and operates accordingly. Delays occur but complete closures are rare despite severe conditions.

When is the best time to fly from Moscow?

Late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September) offer the most pleasant conditions. Winter brings snow and de-icing delays but operations continue reliably. Summer can bring thunderstorms. Moscow's infrastructure handles its climate efficiently year-round.

Is turbulence at Moscow dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Moscow?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
