New Delhi, In a significant development, Delhi airport is set to install full-body scanners by May 2024, according to Zulfiquar Hasan, the Director General of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). The deadline for the installation of full-body scanners and CTX scanners at certain airports will be extended due to provisioning issues, with the current deadline set to conclude on December 31.
Once the CTX (Computer Tomography X-ray) scanners are operational, passengers won’t need to remove electronic gadgets from their baggage during security checks at airports. The BCAS is actively working to enhance security measures at airports, aiming for a smoother and more efficient screening process.
This marks a crucial step toward strengthening airport security protocols and streamlining the passenger screening experience at Delhi airport.
