The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has introduced advanced security screening systems at passenger checkpoints in Terminals 2 and 3 of Accra International Airport. The upgrade is designed to enhance aviation security while improving the overall passenger experience.
According to GACL, the new technology allows travellers to keep laptops and other large electronic devices inside their cabin baggage during checks. Passengers will also no longer need to remove shoes or belts unless flagged for additional screening. Liquids, aerosols, and gels may remain in cabin baggage as well, though the existing restriction on containers exceeding 100 millilitres still applies.
The installation also features an Automatic Tray Return System, which is expected to speed up the process by quickly recycling trays for passengers to repack their belongings. GACL further disclosed that the transition to the new screening system will be carried out in phases alongside the existing security equipment and procedures to ensure smooth operations.
