The terminals of Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo aiports didn’t have specially-adapted rest rooms, wheelchair ramps, special telephone booths for the partially-sighted and hard of hearing and other essentials for disabled passengers, the air transportation division of the General Prosecutor’s office found.
