SVO Aeroflot & Skyteam Terminal 3 update?

[luvintheair]

Dear Readers,

After searching different forums couldn't really find any update of the new terminal.

Does any one have any update of the progress?
Is it already opened? or will it be open by Jan 2010?
I read "the plans" that was posted on skyteam.com but not sure if it's updated.

Thinking of trying Aeroflot for a trip to Asia in Jan, but I will have 6 hours transfer time and hoping that Terminal 3 will be open.
I've read many bad experience about Terminal 2.

Good day!

Hope the guys with access to inside information can clarify if the November 15 opening date (announced just a few days ago) is going to be final.

Ah thank you Temedar!

The link was very helpful. Even found out that the flight to Beijing will be moved to Terminal 2 (F) after February but I'm assuming it's already deperating from there?
Anyways atleast the flights to AMS, BRU or DUS will use the new Terminal so those 6 hours will be more doable in the new Terminal.

Cheers!

Uhm, what it says is flights to PEK will still be flying out of SVO2 even after Feb 6 when the first phase of relocation is over.

The first scheduled flight out of Terminal D , aka SVO3, left the gate 20 minutes ago
