No trays, no stress—Dubai Airport is stepping up its game to make travel smoother than ever.
Great news for anyone traveling soon—Dubai Airport has just leveled up its security process to save you time (and a lot of hassle). With new high-tech scanners now in all terminals, you can keep your laptop and liquids inside your bag and breeze right through security. No more frantic tray juggling or holding up the line while you dig out your stuff. This is all part of Dubai’s effort to make your airport experience faster, smoother, and stress-free.
About the upgrade
Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects has joined forces with Smiths Detection to upgrade Terminals 1, 2, and 3 with advanced 3D imaging scanners. Enter the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX (a high-tech name for some seriously cool results) – these scanners give security a clear view of what’s inside your bag, without you needing to unpack a single thing. Already trusted in airports across the US and Europe, these scanners are built to speed up the process and keep the flow smooth for all passengers.
What’s in it for you
Less unpacking, more relaxing. Here’s what’s changing for passengers:
- Keep your laptops, tablets, and liquids in your carry-on
- Shorter lines and faster checks
- Smarter lanes that automatically send trays back
In short, you’ll be spending less time rummaging through your bag and more time grabbing that pre-flight coffee—or squeezing in a quick duty-free shopping spree.
Looking ahead
Dubai is building the airport of the future, and this is just the beginning. As Dubai Airport continues to serve millions of travelers every month, these upgrades are setting the stage for the city’s next massive leap—Al Maktoum International Airport. With the capacity to handle 260 million passengers, get ready for even more cutting-edge tech that will make traveling through Dubai faster, smoother, and smarter than ever before.
