Dubai's High-Tech Airport Revolution: A New Era of Air Travel Awaits
Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects Grants Contract to Smiths Detection for Enhancement of DXB Security Scanning Equipment
Step into the future of aviation as Dubai International Airport (DXB) unveils a major transformation, partnering with Smiths Detection to bring state-of-the-art technology to its terminals. The agreement, announced during Airport Show 2025, marks a significant leap forward in airport security and efficiency.
HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S CT scanners, equipped with cutting-edge 3D imaging capabilities, will soon be a common sight in Terminals 1, 2, and 3. These advanced systems boast artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning features, delivering superior image resolution and quick threat recognition. Say goodbye to long wait times and invasive security checks - the future is here, and it's putting passengers first.
Newly installed scanners also come with smart lane management and automated tray return systems. These innovations are set to significantly boost passenger flow and operational performance, making travel through DXB smoother than ever before. In an emirate known for its first-class service standards, the airport's technological overhaul is a testament to its dedication to this promise.
H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, in his statement, reaffirmed Dubai's status as a trailblazer in global aviation. Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation, hailed the project as a key step in integrating smart infrastructure, while Suzanne Al Anani, CEO of Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects, emphasized the importance of this endeavor in ensuring the airport remains a world leader well into the future.
"We're thrilled to support Dubai's vision for secure, intelligent air travel," said Tom Squier, regional head of Smiths Detection. The company's commitment to delivering revolutionary screening solutions underscores its role as a global leader in threat detection and security technologies. With certification from respected bodies like the TSA and ECAC, passengers can travel with confidence knowing they are protected by the gold standard of airport security.
