Terminals equipped with new screening technology
Since 1 January 2024 the airport operating company has been responsible for passenger and baggage controls at BER Airport and took over the organisation, management, implementation and financing of aviation security controls in accordance with Section 5 of the German Aviation Security Act (LuftSiG) from the Federal Police as planned.
BER is the second German airport after Frankfurt am Main to assume responsibility for aviation security controls on passengers and their baggage. The aim is to functionally enhance processes and, therefore, further reduce waiting times for passengers. The safety of passengers and employees remains top priority.
There are also plans to gradually equip the security controls at BER with state-of-the-art CT scanners. The first five of eight CT scanners in Terminal 2 are already in operation. The computer tomography used in the CT scanners enables a wide variety of materials and items to be identified reliably and quickly. Passengers using the new CT lanes no longer have to remove liquids, smartphones and other electronic devices from their carry-on bags. The new equipment will also be installed in Terminal 1, preparations for which are already underway.
