Smiths Detection has installed the last of 91 advanced scanners at new terminals at Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport opening ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Our advanced X-ray scanners will be used for a broad range of screening functions, from passenger checkpoint and hold baggage through to cargo.
