OREANDA-NEWS. August 2, 2007. Sheremetyevo International Airport, the as yet state-owned Russian airport, has not abandoned hope of becoming a public company.

According to today's RBC Daily newspaper, at the end of August, the Board of Directors of Sheremetyevo is set to consider a strategy for its debut offering on the stock market. The airport's management is hopeful that the government will take the risk and sanction the proposed IPO, but also does not object to the sale of a stake in the company to a strategic investor.
