We’re modernising the departure experience at T1 International by bringing in new security screening technology and automated bag processing to help passengers move through faster and more easily. This means security wait times, which you can now view on our website, will be faster.
In line with government-mandated security requirements, 15 new screening lanes featuring advanced CT scanning technology will be introduced, allowing passengers to leave liquids and aerosols in their hand luggage. This upgrade will increase screening capacity by nearly 30 per cent, boosting passenger throughput from 4,500 to 5,850 passengers per hour.
Additionally, a reorientation of the departures security layout will move security screening ahead of passport control, making the process quicker and more efficient. The redesign will also create more than 300sqm of new retail space.
Two new security lanes featuring the updated technology are already in operation, with a third to be delivered by the end of the year. Once complete, there will be 15 security screening lanes providing a more efficient processing of passengers.
