On the Ground: Security

A computed tomography (CT) scanner is now available at the airport, providing improved explosives detection capabilities at a TSA checkpoint.

The walk-through scanner uses space technology to image human body heat and has the potential to reduce queues as it screens people on the move.

SITA’s 2018 Air Transport Cybersecurity Insights shows that 89% of airline CIOs and 95% of airport CIOs plan a major programme around cybersecurity within three years.

Hamad International Airport has increased security screening capacity and reduced queuing time in its transfer areas as part of its commitment to providing a seamless transfer experience.

The six new airline partners are Air Serbia, Condor Airlines, Porter Airlines, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, Thomas Cook Airlines (UK) and Thomas Cook Airlines (Scandinavia).

Fourteen of the high-tech lanes have been installed in a joint project by Los Angeles World Airports and the Transportation Security Administration.
