Copenhagen Airport is rolling out a new generation of advanced security scanners designed to make passenger screening faster, smoother, and more efficient.
The airport has opened the first new security lanes equipped with CT scanner technology, with further upgraded lanes planned as part of a wider modernisation of its security area.
Passengers Can Keep Electronics In Bags
The new scanners use advanced 3D imaging technology, allowing passengers to leave electronics inside their hand luggage during security checks.
The upgrade is expected to reduce the need for passengers to unpack bags at security, helping improve passenger flow and shorten waiting times during busy travel periods.
More Security Lanes To Follow
Copenhagen Airport is introducing the new scanner lanes in phases as it continues upgrading its central security facilities.
The rollout is part of a broader effort to modernise the airport experience while maintaining high security standards for passengers and airlines.
Technology Designed To Speed Up Screening
The CT scanners create detailed 3D images of baggage contents, helping security staff assess items more efficiently and reducing the likelihood of manual bag checks.
For travellers, the main benefit is a simpler process through security, with fewer items needing to be removed from hand luggage before screening.
Liquid Rules May Change Later
Although the new technology supports more advanced screening, passengers should continue to follow current liquid rules unless the airport or aviation authorities announce changes.
The introduction of new scanners is expected to support future changes to security procedures once the full rollout and regulatory requirements are completed.
Part Of A Wider Airport Modernisation Push
Copenhagen Airport’s scanner rollout reflects a broader trend across Europe, where airports are investing in next-generation security technology to reduce queues and improve the passenger journey.
As more lanes are upgraded, the airport expects the new system to create a faster and less stressful security experience for travellers.
