Smiths Detection to deploy advanced screening across all terminals at Dubai Airport
Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects announced the award of a formal contract to Smiths Detection to deploy advanced checkpoint screening technologies across all terminals at Dubai International Airport. The multi-year contract covers the installation of HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S computed tomography scanners in Terminals 1, 2, and 3, aiming to enhance security, operational efficiency, and passenger flow.
These scanners offer high-resolution 3D imaging and allow passengers to keep electronics and liquids in their bags during screening, significantly improving processing time and convenience. Certified by international regulatory bodies such as TSA and ECAC, the systems are equipped with iCMORE automatic object recognition software, in addition to smart lane management and automated tray return systems.
This initiative aligns with Dubai’ s vision for a secure, seamless, and future-ready airport infrastructure, reinforcing its position as a global leader in aviation.
This project forms part of Dubai’ s broader strategy for intelligent airport transformation. As DXB continues to break records in international passenger traffic, these upgrades ensure the airport’ s security and service capabilities remain ahead of global demand and expectations.
Launched in 1997, Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects is an autonomous corporate entity attached to the Dubai Aviation City Corporation. DAEP is responsible for the planning, construction, renovation and infrastructure development of airport projects and facilities within Dubai and beyond.
Working closely with strategic stakeholders, DAEP drives the continued excellence and growth of Dubai’ s aviation sector.
Major initiatives led by DAEP include the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai South, a key undertaking aligned with Dubai’ s master plan for aviation growth.
The Managing Director of Smiths Detection Middle East, Tom Squier commented,“ We are honoured to collaborate with Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects to help secure one of the world’ s busiest airports.”
