New Security System In DXB

Getting through DXB Airport security will now be a breeze, thanks to the new screening technology
SHARE
installed in the airport. Terminals 1, 2, and 3 in DXB will now have state-of-the-art checkpoint
scanners. The move comes as Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) sealed a deal with Smiths

Detection.

The new scanners eliminate the need for travellers to remove items from their bags. This means,

travelers will no longer have to remove electronics like laptops or liquids from their carry-on bags at
the security checkpoint. The 3D technology used by the scanners allows them to scan through the

bags, without travelers having to unpack them. Isn’t this cool?

The new technology, already certified by the US’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and
European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), is in place to ensure seamless travel, without delays in

the security screening.

Other Key Features of the 3D Scanning

The new system comes equipped with a software that detects objects automatically, as well as
intelligent lane management, with automated tray return. With DXB retaining its title as the busiest

airport in the world, the need for easy and efficient infrastructure is the need of the hour. These new
technologies and systems will further enhance travel experience and solidify its position as the

world’s best airport.
