The installation of CT scanners will begin at Chopin Airport in the fall of this year – Thanks to modern luggage screening devices, passengers will no longer have to take out electronic devices, such as laptops, from their suitcases during inspection. The same applies to cosmetics and other liquids.
Another convenience for passengers may be increasing or completely abolishing the limit of liquids in hand luggage. Some European airports using CT scanners have already decided to take such a step.
The installation of baggage screening devices will be carried out simultaneously with the reconstruction of the security control area. These are not the only changes at the Warsaw airport that are expected to improve passenger comfort.
As reported by “Rz”, Polskie Porty Lotnicze is also planning, among others, a self-check-in desk at gates 24-41 on the departures level, as well as an increase in the number of document control points. In the terminal part, there will be counters where passengers can check in their checked baggage themselves.
CT scanners also at other Polish airports
Warsaw Chopin Airport is the third airport to announce the installation of new CT scanners for baggage inspection. Already in January, the Krakow airport announced that modern scanners would be put into operation in the middle of this year. In February, the airport in Pyrzowice announced a similar decision, but in the case of Katowice Airport, a major reconstruction is planned for 2024-2028.
This will certainly improve the passenger screening process and will probably ultimately result in the abolition of liquid limits in hand luggage.
– said Artur Tomasik, president of the Upper Silesian Aviation Society, in an interview with fly4free.pl, referring to plans to install CT scanners at Polish airports.
