D mitry Kamenshchik is a Russian billionaire and the owner of Moscow's Domodedovo Airport, one of the busiest airports in Eastern Europe. He began his business career in the early 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union, initially in the tourism and cargo transport sectors. He eventually gained control of the then-state-owned airport.
Under his ownership, he has transformed Domodedovo from a tired, Soviet-era facility into a modern international hub through massive private investment in new terminals and infrastructure. He has built his fortune by running the airport as a highly efficient and profitable private enterprise, with revenue streams from aviation services, retail, and real estate. His career has also been marked by significant challenges, including a terrorist attack at the airport in 2011, for which he was briefly placed under house arrest before charges were dropped.
