The multi-year contract covers the installation of HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S computed
tomography scanners in Terminals 1, 2, and 3, aiming to enhance security, operational efficiency,
and passenger flow.

These cutting-edge scanners offer high-resolution 3D imaging and allow passengers to keep
electronics and liquids in their bags during screening, significantly improving processing time and
convenience. Certified by international regulatory bodies such as TSA and ECAC, the systems are
equipped with iCMORE automatic object recognition software, in addition to smart lane
management and automated tray return systems.

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:
"Dubai continues to lead the world in aviation excellence by investing in the latest security
screening technologies. This project strengthens passenger safety, enhances the travel experience,
and reinforces Dubai’s reputation as a global aviation hub."

His Excellency Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation, remarked:
"Selecting Smiths Detection reflects our commitment to smart infrastructure integration across our
airports. It is an investment in operational efficiency and the safety of millions of travellers as we
build the airports of the future."
