Tired of queuing at Dubai International Airport security? Well, it’s about to get much smoother and
quicker.

A major upgrade to screening technology is on its way to DXB, which will mean you no longer have to
awkwardly take out your liquids or electronics.

An agreement between Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects and Smiths Detection means that new
state-of-the-art checkpoint scanners will soon be coming to Terminals 1, 2 and 3.

The world’s busiest international airport will get advanced HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S computed
tomography scanners, which will be capable of high-resolution 3D imaging at security.

These high-tech scanners can get a look inside your carry-on baggage without the need for you to
unpack your laptop, tablet, phone, drinks or toothpaste.

The new system also comes with several smart features which should speed up your journey through
security.

You can expect intelligent lane management combined with automated tray return systems, which
should stop you fumbling around for a tray.

Software will also be able to help automatically identify objects within the system.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority,
Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group said that
the new scanners help Dubai lead in the way in aviation.

He said: “Dubai continues to lead the world in aviation excellence by investing in the latest security
screening technologies.
