The question of which floor is the representative office of the Xiaomi brand in the shopping and entertainment center "Aviapark", often arises among users planning warranty service, return of equipment or official purchase of devices. shopping center "Aviapark" is one of the largest in Europe, and navigation inside it can cause difficulties even for regular visitors. Accurate knowledge of the location of the office center or service area allows you to save significant time and avoid unnecessary stress when visiting.
It is important to note at once that the structure of the brandโs presence in large malls often changes: it can be a full-fledged mono-brand store, a point of sale in the electronics zone or a separate office for the company. B2B-In this article, we will discuss in detail the current location situation, the algorithm for passing through the security system and the nuances that you should know before visiting.
Before you go, you should take into account that the administrative offices of large technology companies are rarely located on the lower floors, where the main retail area is located. Usually such premises are closer to the roof or in special office blocks, access to which may be limited. Xiaomi office space in the complex "Aviapark" historically was located on the upper floors, in particular at level 5 or 6, depending on the current rental policy of the building.
Exact location and navigation within the mall
Aviapark Shopping Center has a complex layout with several atriums and exits. To find the area where Xiaomi equipment is based, you need to focus on the signs "Electronics" or "Gadgets". Most often, the retail points of the brand are on the second or third floor, where the main digital stores are concentrated. If you are interested in an administrative office or service center, their location may differ from the storefronts.
For efficient navigation, use the e-kiosks located at each entrance to the mall. Type in the search for "Xiaomi" or "Mi Store", and the system will build the route. Note that navigation can show several points: the official store, partner points (for example, "M. Video" or "Svyaznoy", where products are also presented) and service centers. The service area can be located in a separate wing of the building, often in the maintenance area or on the minus first floor where parking and service entrances are located.
There are several key landmarks to help you stay out of the huge mall space, and it is recommended to move from the central atrium to the peripheral areas, where less frequent but important offices are usually located.
- ๐ Look for a โHome Techniqueโ or โSmartphoneโ sign on storey signs โ this will take you to retail areas.
- ๐ข To search for an office administration, focus on the โOfficeโ signs or ask for information at the โInfocenterโ counter on the first floor.
- ๐ Service centers often have a separate entrance from the parking area or are located in the Service area on the upper levels.
โ ๏ธ Note: Do not confuse the official Xiaomi store with accessories sales points or third-party communication salons that only sell devices of this brand, but do not provide a full range of services.
Difference Between a Retail Store and a Company Office
Users often confuse the terms "store", "service center" and "office of the company." Retail store (Mi Store or corner in a hypermarket) is designed exclusively for sales and initial consultation. Here you can buy a smartphone, a smart speaker or a fitness bracelet, but here rarely take equipment in complex warranty repairs.
An authorized service center is a specialized unit where engineers diagnose, replace displays, batteries and other components, and can be located both inside the mall (often on the upper floors or in separate boxes) and outside, and the office is a workspace for managers, logistics and marketers, and access to it is usually closed to ordinary customers.
Understanding this difference is critical to saving time, because if you just need to buy a case or a new vacuum cleaner, you don't have to look for an office building, you just have to go down to the floor with electronics, and if you need warranty repairs, you need to find a service area, which often leads to a separate route.
The table below compares the functionality of different points of presence of the brand so that you can choose the right route:
| Type of point | Substantive function | Location in the mall | Access to customers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Store (Retail) | Sale of devices and accessories | 2-3 floor, electronics area | Free |
| Service centre | Repair, diagnostics, replacement of spare parts | Often 5-6 floor or -1 floor | Recorded or live queue |
| Distributor's office | Administration, Logistics, B2B | Separate office floors | Limited (only by pass) |
| Partner point | Sale of equipment in supermarkets | Different floors. | Free |
Order of passage and security system
Visiting service areas or office spaces located on the upper floors of the Aviapark often requires registration. The security system in major shopping centers in Moscow is strictly regulated. If you go to the maintenance area or office, be prepared to present an identity document.
The procedure for skipping is usually as follows: at the entrance to the office block or service area, you must contact a security guard or administrator, you may be asked to give the name of the employee you are going to, or show the order number if you are going for repairs. In some cases, you need to leave your passport or driver's license on the watch in exchange for a temporary pass.
โ๏ธ What to bring with you to visit the service
Security cameras record all movements in the corridors, so following security instructions is a must-have. If you lost a check but your device is registered with your Mi Account, accessing your purchase history can make it easier to identify your device.
โ ๏ธ Note: If you go to hand over the device for repair, be sure to remove SIM-card and memory card, and unlock the screen if required for diagnostics, security has the right to check the contents of bags at the entrance to the service area.
Mode of work and relevance of information
The schedule of Xiaomi points in Aviapark can vary: retail stores usually work without a weekend from 10:00 to 22:00, following the mode of operation of the mall itself. However, service centers and office units often have a reduced schedule, especially on weekends, or work only on weekdays from 09:00 to 18:00.
Before traveling, it is strongly recommended to check the current information on the official website or call the hotline. During holidays, the schedule may be changed, and it is worth considering that during the sales period (for example, Black Friday or 11.11) waiting time in the service area can be significantly increased due to the large flow of customers.
The navigation signs in the mall are not updated instantly. If you didn't find the sign in the usual place, it doesn't mean that the dot closed - it could have moved to another module inside the same floor or to the next level.

Alternative ways to communicate and solve problems
Physical visits to an office or service center are not always the only or best way to solve a problem. Modern technology allows you to solve up to 80% of questions remotely. If your problem is related to software setup, synchronization of your Mi Account or basic operational issues, it is more effective to use online support.
While complex technical issues that require opening a device may require a visit to the service, online pre-diagnostics can help you determine whether to go to Aviapark or simply use the courier service often provided by large service partners, especially for residents of remote areas of Moscow and the Moscow region.
