Sheremetyevo International Airport is a low-elevation field at 622 ft (190 m), positioned at 55.9769° N, 37.4112° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 3 runways and a longest runway of 12,139 ft / 3,700 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Moscow (MSK, UTC+03:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Dolgoprudnyy is the closest retained city-time anchor at 6.4 km. VKO Moscow is the closest retained airport alternative at 44 km.
SVO is compared with VKO Moscow at 44 km, ZIA Moscow at 66 km, DME Moscow at 70 km, GOJ Nizhny Novgorod at 396 km, LED St. Petersburg at 599 km inside the retained Russia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
SVO-ZIA Moscow: 66 km, about 55m, +0h. SVO-DME Moscow: 70 km, about 55m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident UUEE backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. svo.aero is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

OurAirports classifies SVO as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Moscow.
SVO (UUEE) is a low-elevation field at 622 ft (190 m) in the high mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.

SVO's runway record lists 3 runways, with the longest runway at 12,139 ft / 3,700 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete (3).
Sheremetyevo International Airport is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for SVO.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at svo.aero, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
SVO uses Europe/Moscow (MSK, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Sheremetyevo International Airport is about 28 km from central Moscow; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
VKO Moscow is the closest retained alternate at 44 km, time difference +0h.
svo.aero is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place SVO inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
SVO ranks #10 in the curated Russia airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 14 airports.
SVO shares Europe/Moscow with DME Moscow RU · GOJ Nizhny Novgorod RU · KZN Kazan RU · LED St. Petersburg RU · ROV Rostov-on-Don RU · VKO Moscow RU. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
SVO is 622 ft (190 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include BRS 622 ft (190 m) (0 ft delta) · MDW 620 ft (189 m) (2 ft delta) · STL 618 ft (188 m) (4 ft delta) · CRL 614 ft (187 m) (8 ft delta) · DFW 607 ft (185 m) (15 ft delta).

The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Moscow is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Sheremetyevo International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from SVO, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
