DME, the holding company for Domodedovo Airport, said it plans to sell existing shares in an initial public offering in London.
The company, which is 100 percent owned by entrepreneur Dmitry Kamenshchik, might sell shares as early as in June, according to term sheets and a regulatory filing by the company Wednesday. Goldman Sachs Group, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup are running the offering, the statement said.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said March 28 that an agreement was reached to merge two state-run Moscow airports, Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo, into a single company. DME's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 62 percent last year to 12.7 billion rubles ($455 million), while sales increased 22 percent to 29.7 billion rubles, according to the statement.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
