Germany: Frankfurt Airport’s new security checkpoint promises shorter waits
A new 7-lane security checkpoint at Frankfurt Airport uses state-of-the-art screening technology to reduce passenger wait times, according to airport operator Fraport. The checkpoint, a joint effort of Fraport and the German Federal Police, is housed in a purpose-built extension to Concourse A at Terminal 1. The new control lane configuration allows more passengers to present hand baggage for screening, and travellers can pass slower passengers in the same lane, Fraport said. The lanes also provide more space for analysing X-rays and performing manual checks, which are conducted by security service companies on behalf of the Federal Police. “Thanks to the new control lanes, considerably more passengers can now pass through security control in Concourse A, resulting in shorter waiting times,” Fraport CE Schulte said. <br/>
