Bengaluru Airport’s Terminal 2 Set to Debut CTX Machines in Security Overhaul

Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) is poised to revolutionize the airport security experience, setting the stage to become the country’s pioneer to phase out the gadgets-in-tray security check system.

A report claims that at the pre-embarkation security checkpoints at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), passengers using Terminal 2 of Bengaluru will no longer be obliged to take out their personal electronic devices, such as laptops and cell phones, from their handbags.

Soon, a trial run of the CTX (Computer Tomography X-ray) machine at T2 is anticipated in Bengaluru. The new system, which will probably be operational by December 2023, is only intended for domestic travel, according to the report.

In addition to cutting down on wait times, the advanced security check system can improve travellers’ experiences at airports. “Organising and rearranging items in bags during the security check takes a lot of time.

The airport must expend a great deal of logistical energy to resolve the issue, and the new CTX machines can solve a significant one. Passengers will save a great deal of time due to the machines, the airport official said. Additionally, following a first screening via the walk-through metal detector, it will do away with the present procedure of patting down travellers.
