Airport operator daa said today that the rollout of new and improved security scanning technology at Dublin Airport will continue over the coming months.
Around one third of Dublin's Arport's more than 30 existing X-ray scanners have already been replaced by the C3 scanners, which allow passengers to leave all liquids and laptops inside their cabin bags.The airport is on track to have replaced all scanners in both of its terminals by October 2025, ahead of the regulatory deadline of the end of December 2025.
The deal will last for 12 years and will also include the rollout of C3 scanners at Cork Airport, which is also operated by daa. "The rollout in Terminal 1 will take a little longer, with some reconfiguration works required to accommodate the new scanners, which are much bigger and heavier than the existing scanning machines," Gary McLean, Managing Director of Dublin Airport, said.
