The region’s public prosecution authorities for transport found out that, despite the Russian Federation Air Code regulations, Koltsovo Airport of Yekaterinburg did not employ any law-enforcement officers for passenger security checks in the VIP and business zones. What is more, the airport is believed to have violated the federal ant-terrorist bill requirements.


The prosecutors’ investigation therefore resulted in elimination orders placed with the General Directors of Chelyabinsk Airport and Koltsovo Airport. The people responsible for the violations will have to face disciplinary liability.
