Modernisation of
­security controls at BER

Following the successful modernisation of security controls in the northern and southern areas of Terminal 1, the airport company is now launching the final phase of the project: The security control areas 2 and 4 in the central check-in hall of Terminal 1 are being comprehensively modernised with immediate effect and equipped with CT technology. These areas are currently only in operation when demand is high because of the outdated X-ray equipment currently installed there. The security control areas 2 and 4 in the central check-in hall of Terminal 1 are being comprehensively modernised with immediate effect and equipped with CT technology. These areas are currently only in operation when demand is high because of the outdated X-ray equipment currently installed there.

The first phase of construction in security control area 2 will be followed by the refurbishment of security control area 4. After that, all passengers at BER will pass through security controls using new CT scanners, at which they will no longer need to remove liquids and electronic devices from their cabin baggage.

In addition to the installation of new CT technology, existing individual preparation stations will be replaced by longer shared baggage drop-off belts. This will create more space for preparing hand baggage. Passengers can overtake one another if necessary and overall make more efficient use of the security lanes.

As before, passengers can check current waiting times on the BER website, via the BER app and on the screens in the terminals. All gates in Terminals 1 and 2 are accessible from every security control.
