OREANDA-NEWS. March 15, 2011. Due to the Airport's currently heightened security profile, air travelers and Vnukovo Airport visitors will be asked to undergo an additional security check upon entering any of the Airport's passenger terminals. This may result in occasional queuing, especially during the Airport's peak departure hours.

As part of the entrance security check, you will have to walk through a metal detector, unbutton or take off your outerwear such as coats, jackets, etc., and allow a light tactile/ portable metal scanner search of your person. You will also be asked to put your personal effects and baggage through an x-ray scanner. Such checks are mandatory for all incoming air travelers, meeters, senders, and Airport visitors, wishing to gain entry into the mainline passenger terminals. They also encompass every item of baggage and/or personal effects brought along.

The sufficient number of entrance checkpoints allows to carry out the checks with minimum hassle and queuing.

The above fact notwithstanding, however, we kindly ask you - while planning your trip to the Airport - to allow for some extra time to complete all the necessary checks and formalities prior to your flight's departure.
