The history of Aeroexpress company

As of August 1, 2024, Aeroexpress stopped operating on the route "Kievsky Train Station - Vnukovo Airport".

The railway route began to be serviced by the Central Suburban Passenger Company. Aeroexpress will focus on developing routes to Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports, as well as on developing express bus service to the airports.

The company updated the Aeroexpress mobile application for devices with the iOS operating system: the interface has completely changed, and the search for the necessary information and the process of purchasing a ticket have become faster and more convenient.
