Accra, Ghana – Travellers using the Kotoka International Airport can now expect a smoother security screening experience following the installation of advanced screening equipment designed to reduce delays and make passenger checks more convenient.
The new technology allows passengers to keep items such as belts, shoes, liquids, and laptops inside their cabin baggage during screening, eliminating some of the time-consuming procedures traditionally required at airport security checkpoints.
Airport authorities say the upgraded system is expected to improve passenger flow, enhance efficiency, and provide a more seamless travel experience while maintaining strict security standards.
The introduction of the equipment marks a major shift from conventional screening processes, where travellers are often required to remove certain personal items and electronic devices before passing through security checks.
Officials believe the new scanners will help reduce congestion, especially during peak travel periods, while enabling security personnel to conduct faster and more effective inspections.
Passengers have welcomed the development, describing it as a relief from long queues and the inconvenience of unpacking and repacking belongings during screening.
The move forms part of broader efforts to modernize airport operations and position Accra’s international airport among facilities adopting advanced aviation security technologies.
With the new system now in place, travellers are encouraged to follow airport guidelines and cooperate with security officers as the upgraded screening process is fully implemented.
