In the realm of aviation, safety holds paramount importance, a fact well recognized by all. However, while upholding stringent security standards is essential, it is equally vital to ensure the convenience and efficiency of the air travel process for passengers. This is precisely the objective we strive to achieve at Berlin Airport.
In an effort to facilitate a secure yet seamless travel experience, Berlin Airport has implemented significant changes to its security screening process. Collaborating with the Federal Police of Germany and the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community has established a clear division of responsibilities, leading to more effective management of security checks, guaranteeing both security and smoothness of processes.
Furthermore, Berlin Airport has embraced state-of-the-art technology to enhance the security screening process. Adoption of modern CT scanners from Smiths Detection in Terminal 2 is poised to revolutionize security screening. With these advanced scanners, passengers will no longer need to remove liquids and electronic devices from their hand luggage, streamlining the entire process and significantly enhancing the passenger experience.
The successful implementation of these new security control measures at Berlin Airport stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment and hard work of the entire team. While this achievement marks a significant milestone, it does not mark the conclusion of our efforts. The next phase involves extending the CT technology to other areas of the airport, ensuring the highest level of security and efficiency across all terminals.
A distinguishing feature of Berlin Airport is its fervent embrace of technology and innovation. With a history of introducing digital products such as virtual queuing, self-check-in and bag drop facilities, facial recognition systems, and artificial intelligence for process analysis, the airport has exhibited a steadfast commitment to remaining at the vanguard of technological advancements in the aviation industry.
As we strive to push the boundaries of innovation, it is evident that technology plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of air travel. By seamlessly integrating the right technology with the expertise and dedication of our team, we are confident in our ability to create an air travel experience that is safe and convenient for all passengers.
