One of Europe’s largest airports, Schiphol in Amsterdam, which serves approximately 50 million passengers annually, will screen passengers in just a few seconds. This will be made possible thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, as reported by avianews.com.
The largest airport in the Netherlands, Schiphol, has been repeatedly recognized as one of the best air gateways in the world. Now, security checks for air passengers there will be reduced to 3 seconds. Schiphol has upgraded all 53 scanners that screen passengers for carrying dangerous items.
The new equipment assesses in seconds whether a passenger has anything dangerous. This will reduce the number of travelers who need to undergo a thorough inspection by a security officer.
With the help of advanced scanners, the airport will be able to handle the growing passenger flow. Only during the May holidays, over 80,000 travelers will depart from Amsterdam daily.
Previously, the largest airport in the Netherlands purchased modern scanners for hand luggage, which use computed tomography technology. These devices allow passengers to leave electronics in their bags for separate screening. Additionally, the airport has lifted strict restrictions on carrying liquids on airplanes.
