Airport officials say they expect the new screening channels to each process 360 people every hour, compared with 240 under the old system. Travellers will be able to keep liquids and electronics in their hand luggage when they pass through security at Hong Kong airport from next week, thanks to an HK$800 million upgrade of the system that includes smart screening.
The first four new security screening channels will be installed at the south and north departure halls in the airport’s first terminal next Tuesday. The devices will scan passengers’ carry-on luggage and generate a three-dimensional image for analysis, reducing scanning times from 15 to 10 seconds. The new full-body scanners will replace manual checks for passengers who set off metal detector alarms, reducing the need for contact between travellers and security staff.
