Domodedovo Airport receives an award for the best digital passenger service

Moscow Domodedovo has won the 2019 Wings of Russia Air Transport Awards in the category “Digital Technology for Passengers” for its initiative to go paperless. The award recognizes the best airlines and airports in Russia and CIS countries.
