Let’s be honest, unpacking your laptop, yanking out that bag of toiletries, and hoping your toothpaste at airport security is peak travel stress. But now, DXB airport is stepping up its game with a major glow-up in security tech that helps you skip taking out liquids and electronics from your luggage with scanners.
DXB Airport To Install Smart Scanners To Speed Up Security
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is rolling out brand-new scanners that’ll make your security check a breeze. No more stressing about electronics and mini shampoos, these smart machines do the digging for you. Thanks to a fresh partnership between Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects and global tech firm Smiths Detection, Terminals 1, 2, and 3 are set to receive cutting-edge checkpoint scanners.
These new bad boys? They’re called HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S scanners. Don’t worry, you don’t need to memorise the name. Just know that they’ll scan your bags using powerful 3D imaging tech that doesn’t require you to remove a thing. Whether it’s your iPad, power bank, or that suspiciously expensive face cream, it stays in the bag.
Less Chaos, More Control At DXB Airport
Alongside smart scanning, these tech upgrades bring some clever features to the table. Expect automated tray return systems, intelligent lane management, and even software that can spot items before the human eye catches them. No more tray game or awkward waiting while someone ahead forgets how to play the security riddle.
High-level support for this upgrade comes straight from His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. He says the new system cements Dubai’s global aviation leadership and elevates both safety and efficiency. Suzanne Al Anani, CEO of Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects, backs the move. She highlights that this tech-focused upgrade ensures DXB is ready for future air travel demands.
