General Director of Aeroexpress, Andrey Akimov, commented, "We are continually working to expand payment options to make the ticket purchasing process as convenient as possible for each passenger. FPS is a modern, technological, and secure service developed in Russia. It allows you to pay for your journey with just a few clicks, using only your smartphone. The next step will be to introduce FPS payments at ticket machines, with mobile cashiers, and on the Aeroexpress website and mobile app."
Dmitry Kolesnikov, Director of Innovative Services Development at NSPK, added, "When planning a trip to the airport, both the type of transport and the speed and convenience of purchasing a ticket are crucial. We are pleased that FPS allows Moscow residents and visitors to pay for Aeroexpress tickets in seconds, helping them arrive on time. Expanding the range of transport services available via FPS is another step towards making the Fast Payment System a universal payment tool."
Currently, FPS payments are available in around 80 ticket offices at all open stations of the Moscow Metro’s Big Circle Line and in the "Parking Russia" mobile app.
Tickets for Aeroexpress can also be purchased on the company's website and mobile app, at ticket machines, from staff at general and "clean" zones of airports, and through partners including airline websites, the "Sberbank Online" app, and online travel agencies.
