It is planned that in the summer of 2026, Pulkovo passengers will be able to travel to the capital without presenting a passport during pre-flight procedures thanks to the Migom biometric service . A test run of the technology will take place on Aeroflot flights between Pulkovo and Sheremetyevo.

The Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media initiated a pilot project to introduce biometrics at airports in 2025. Pulkovo became the first testing site for the technology. Tests were conducted at St. Petersburg Airport throughout last year.

In the fall of 2025, the terminal hosted  a successful demonstration of biometric services, attended by representatives of the Russian government. The airport's digital initiatives received government support.

Pulkovo is a leader in implementing breakthrough technologies that have the potential to become new industry standards. For example, the airport was the first in the country to launch a program to test drones for baggage handling and patrolling, as well as robots for terminal cleaning.
