Dr. Pierre Dominique Prümm, Executive Director of Aviation and Infrastructure at Fraport AG, has announced the successful completion of state-of-the-art security enhancements at Frankfurt Airport. With the additional security checkpoints now operational, passengers can enjoy a smoother and faster experience during the busy summer season. The use of new technology, including CT scanners from Leidos and modular security lanes from Gilardoni, has proven to be effective in maintaining high security standards while reducing waiting times.
The new security checkpoints at Frankfurt Airport feature CT scanners that allow passengers to keep electronic devices and liquids in their hand luggage, eliminating the need for separate presentation. The modular design of the security lanes enables multiple passengers to place their carry-on luggage on the belt at the same time, increasing throughput by 30%. This, along with a fully automated tray return system, ensures faster and more efficient security checks for the approximately 35,000 passengers departing from Concourse B of Terminal 1 daily.
Fraport plans to implement the advanced security checkpoints across all terminals at Frankfurt Airport, including the forthcoming Terminal 3. The integration of this new technology into the design plans for Terminal 3 aims to offer a consistent and improved passenger experience throughout the airport. The CT technology used in the scanners provides reliable and fast detection of various materials and objects, allowing for a simpler security process for passengers and reducing the need for follow-up checks.
Overall, the new state-of-the-art security enhancements at Frankfurt Airport have led to improved passenger experiences, reduced wait times, and increased efficiency in security processes. The successful implementation of these advanced technologies sets a standard for future airport security measures and ensures a high level of safety and convenience for all passengers passing through Frankfurt Airport.
