Pulkovo Airport Terminal Two

Pulkovo-2 handles the majority of long-haul international flights. The terminal was refurbished in the early 90s; its arrivals and departures areas were enlarged and connected by a spacious gallery, with comfortable seats for relaxation, television and a bar for passengers.

The use of automatic check-in procedures for passengers and luggage and the SDCS loading system also assist in improving the standard of service.

Pulkovo-2 has a VIP lounge and two executive lounges offering phone and fax services, newspapers and magazines in both Russian and foreign languages, a wide range of alcoholic and soft beverages, tea, coffee and snacks.

The new Sheremetievo-3 Terminal including new apron and engineering infrastructure will have an expected capacity of 12 million passengers per year and will include:

■ a new terminal building with total area of 170 000 m²;

■ a new apron with total area of approximately 350 000 m²;

■ a multi-storey car park for 3,400 cars;

■ an engineering infrastructure network with separate water treatment and electrical distribution centre facilities;

■ road network connecting the new terminal with other terminals of Sheremetievo airport.

A new body scan system has been installed at JFK Airport, New York, which allows airport screeners to peer beneath passengers’ clothing in search of secreted weapons.

However, those passengers who are required to undergo additional screening have the choice of entering the machine, or opting for a body pat-down.

The machines – known as millimetre wave scanners – produce a 3D image of the body, showing some degree of detail.

The images are only seen by a security worker in a secluded room, who has no contact with the person being examined.

Faces are obscured automatically and the images are not archived – even if they do show the presence of a hidden weapon.

Passengers using the scanners enter them and raise their arms. The scans themselves last around 15 seconds.
