Alexander Ponomarenko was elected in 2015 as a non-executive director of the Board of Directors of Sheremetyevo International Airport, the largest airport in Russia. He was subsequently elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2016. He is reported to have a stake in the company which owns nearly 70% of the airport; the Russian State owns the remainder of the capital in the airport. Mr Ponomarenko also plays a strategic role in the running of the airport. Mr Ponomarenko has been a director in an entity carrying on business in a Government of Russia-affiliated entity, in a sector of strategic significance to the Government of Russia. He has therefore been involved in obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Government of Russia.
