The Macau International Airport will install eight new security channels later this year, according to Macau International Airport Company Limited (CAM).
CAM stated that the project will expand the security check and departure areas by utilizing the existing duty-free shop space.
Technological enhancements will be introduced to improve the security process, including eight smart security screening channels equipped with features such as automatic sorting of carry-on luggage, automatic tray retrieval, and assisted unpacking workstations.
In addition, millimeter-wave body imaging security scanners will be installed, which are expected to increase passenger security processing capacity by 80%. Passengers will also have access to self-service pre-security check gates equipped with biometric technology.
In their statement, CAM said they have been assessing the situation and working on a solution since last year. The decision to install the security channels follows concerns about long queues in the departure area’s security checkpoint during peak travel periods.
“This initiative is designed to further enhance security efficiency and refine the security management system, all while adhering to evolving aviation security regulations and measures, thereby improving the overall travel experience for passengers,” CAM added. Staff Reporter
