Dubai: Good news for travellers flying through Dubai International Airport (DXB)! Getting through
security is set to become much smoother and quicker, thanks to a major upgrade in screening
technology installed across all terminals.

Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) has officially awarded a contract to Smiths Detection to
deploy state-of-the-art checkpoint scanners throughout Terminals 1, 2, and 3. DAEP is the agency
responsible for the design, master-planning, infrastructure development and construction of
Dubai's aviation sector.

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 and Group, said in a
statement, "Dubai continues to lead the world in aviation excellence by investing in the latest
security screening technologies."
