Book FlightsAccording to recent reports, travellers at Terminal 2 (T2) of KIA will soon be exempted from the necessity of removing personal electronic devices, such as mobile phones and laptops, from their handbags during security checks.
A trial run for the Computer Tomography X-ray (CTX) machine will soon begin within the next few weeks at KIA’s T2. The CTX machine will be integrated with the Automatic Tray Retrieval System (ATRS) and full-body scanners. Initially, the new system is intended exclusively for domestic passengers and is expected to become operational in December 2023.
Three full-body scanners have been installed at T2 to ensure a faster and more secure flying experience. Passengers will be able to leave their electronic items (laptops, etc.) and LAGs (liquids, aerosols, and gels) in their bags and go through a quicker screening process.
