Dubai Airport security: No more taking out laptops & liquids
No trays, no stress. Dubai Airport is making travel smoother…
Good news if you're heading out of town soon – Dubai Airport has upgraded its security game, and it's about to save you time (and hassle). Thanks to new high-tech scanners rolling out across all terminals, you can now keep your laptop and liquids snug inside your bag while you glide through security. Yes, really. No more last-minute juggling at the trays, no more holding up the line while you dig out your stuff. It's all part of Dubai's mission to make your airport experience smoother and quicker. About the upgrade
Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects has teamed up with Smiths Detection to kit out Terminals 1, 2, and 3 with advanced 3D imaging scanners. They're called HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX (techy name, cool result) – and they let security teams get a super clear look at what's in your bag without making you unpack a thing. Already trusted by airports in the US and Europe, these scanners are designed to speed things up and keep everyone moving. What's in it for you
Less unpacking, more relaxing. Here's what changes for passengers: Keep laptops, tablets, and liquids in your carry-on
Shorter lines and faster checks
Smarter lanes that move trays back automatically
In short, you'll spend less time digging around in your bag and more time grabbing that pre-flight coffee (or doing a last-minute duty-free dash).
