Get ready for a smoother and safer journey through Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport! Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) is set to begin trials of state-of-the-art full-body scanners in May, following the latest guidelines from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
These advanced scanners, utilizing millimeter-wave technology, promise to enhance security without compromising passenger privacy. Unlike traditional X-ray scanners, they emit no radiation, making them safe for all travelers, including pregnant women. The technology is already in use at major international airports in the US, Canada, and Australia.
The scanners can detect both metallic and non-metallic threats, including explosives, with each scan taking just three seconds. To address privacy concerns, the scanners generate a standardized 2D image on a preset human avatar, ensuring no personal images are stored.
"Delhi Airport remains committed to deploying the latest technology to enhance security while ensuring a seamless passenger experience," said Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO of DIAL. "The introduction of these body scanners is a game-changer in security screening, allowing for faster and more effective checks without compromising privacy."
Keep an eye out for these scanners at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 as Delhi Airport takes a significant step towards a more secure and efficient travel experience.
