The airport is undergoing its largest-ever security upgrade with the installation of Next Generation Security Checkpoint (NGSC) scanners.
These state-of-the-art scanners will allow passengers to keep electronic devices in their hand luggage during security checks, streamlining the screening process.
The project, expected to be completed by the end of April, is designed to enhance passenger experience in the long run.
However, travelers are advised to prepare for potential delays during the installation phase. The airport recommends allowing extra time to pass through security.
During the installation period, normal security procedures will remain in place, meaning passengers must continue removing electronic devices from their bags.
As with any major infrastructure upgrade, temporary disruptions are possible.
Airport officials acknowledge that wait times could increase but emphasize that the long-term benefits will outweigh the temporary inconveniences.
Once operational, the new system will improve efficiency and reduce security bottlenecks.

The airport has also expressed gratitude for travelers’ patience and cooperation during this transition.
