Pulkovo Airport Opens New Road in St. Petersburg

A new transport line has been launched at Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg to alleviate traffic congestion. The opening aims to improve passenger flow during the summer travel peak and the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

The third transport line runs along the passenger terminal and is designated for personal vehicles and taxis. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the time cars spend in the arrival zone on the first floor.

Pulkovo anticipates that the new line will increase the arrival area’s throughput capacity by 40%. The airport estimates that the entire process, from entering the airport territory to exiting, including passenger pick-up and drop-off, will average about four minutes.

Airport representatives stated that the decision to open the new line was made in anticipation of SPIEF and the expected surge in traffic during the summer season.

Passengers are also reminded that enhanced security measures are in place due to SPIEF, potentially increasing travel time to the airport. Travelers are advised to allow extra time when traveling to Pulkovo.
