Sheremetyevo International Airport held the IX ceremony of granting awards for the mass media and social media professionals - ShereMedia. The festive event was attended by the management of the airport and its subsidiaries, representatives of leading socio-political, business, aviation and tourism publications, industry experts, top bloggers and partners of the airport.

This year, two important events in the modern history of the Russian largest air harbor were the leitmotifs of the ceremony: the 60th anniversary of the airport and the appellation of A.S. Pushkin name to the airport. The event called "Duel of Epochs. Weapon - pen" was opened by video chronicles collected on the basis of television reports, aired from 1959 to 2019. At the beginning of the ceremony, lines from the famous "Prophet" poem were read on the stage.

While opening the ceremony, Andrei Nikulin, First Deputy General Director for Production of JSC SIA, noted: "The ShereMedia Award is a significant event in the lives of journalists who specialize in topics directly related to the transport industry. Evidence of this - those who are here today: the best representatives of industry journalism and a jury of recognized experts.

For Sheremetyevo, the award is a great opportunity to see yourself as if in a mirror, to receive the most valuable feedback, sometimes even the sharp criticism necessary for the development of the airport that aspires to be the best in everything. And the fact that our airport for many years is among the leaders of many authoritative ratings in Europe and around the world, there is a huge merit of yours."
