The closest large one is Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO), 28 km (17 mi) from the centre, whose 12,139-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 3,311 km (2,057 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
