Air traffic - Time savings: Fraport deploys additional CT-Scanners
At Frankfurt Airport, passengers get through security checks faster. Operator Fraport has installed additional nine baggage scanners with Computer-Tomography-Technology according to their own statements. These devices create three-dimensional control images of hand luggage, so that passengers no longer have to take out liquids, Smartphones, and other electronic devices. This had caused significant delays at the checkpoints in the past.
"There were no relevant waiting times at the security checks on the busy Easter and Pentecost holiday days", explained the Infrastructure Chief of Fraport, Pierre Dominique Prüm. According to Fraport, 40 of the 160 control lanes in the two terminals are now equipped with the new technology. Points with particularly high passenger traffic were selected for this. In Terminal 3, which is scheduled to start in 2026, the CT-Technology will then be standard.
- The implementation of additional nine computer-aided baggage scanners by Fraport at Frankfurt Airport has led to significant savings in time during security checks.
- In Hesse, Germany, Frankfurt Airport, operated by Fraport, has seen a reduction in delays at security checkpoints due to the use of Computer-Tomography-Technology in their devices.
- At the Frankfurt Airport's terminals, Fraport has implemented the new Person control technology, which eliminates the need for passengers to remove liquids, Smartphones, and other electronics, thereby streamlining air traffic.
- The innovative use of CT-Technology by Fraport at Frankfurt Airport's checkpoints, including in areas with high passenger traffic, has significantly improved efficiency in airports across Germany.
- The future Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport, operated by Fraport, will feature the CT-Technology as standard, continuing the company's commitment to saving time and improving efficiency in air travel.
