Passengers at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) are set to be the first in the world to experience new smart security screening tech.
Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) are set to introduce a new smart security screening system at Hong Kong International Airport. This will further improve operational performance and passenger experience. From July 2024, the new system will be implemented into service. HKIA will be the first in the world to use smart security screening channels across the whole airport.
Passengers who use the new smart security screening channels will now be able to keep laptops, mobile phones and other electronics, as well as aerosols, gels and liquids in their carry-on luggage. They will no longer have to remove them for screening, as is required by existing protocol.
The latest 3D and 360-degree CT-based X-ray scanning technology has enabled the procedure. The new system is also equipped with other passenger-focused functions; these include auto-tray rejection, in-built tray sterilisation and an automatic alert to passengers for uncollected items on the tray.
