New security checkpoint opens at Nuremberg Airport

Nuremberg Airport in Germany has officially unveiled its modernised passenger security checkpoint.

Christian Bernreiter, Minister of State for Housing, Construction and Transport, the deputy mayor of the City of Nuremberg, and airport COO, Jan Bruns, were among those to attend a special ceremony to mark the event.

The security checkpoint has been gradually refurbished over the past few months. The switch to CT technology allows liquids, gels and electronic devices (such as smartphones, tablets or laptops) to remain in hand luggage during security screening.

The German gateway, officially known as Albrecht Dürer Nuremberg Airport, notes that each screening lane at it’s new security checkpoints have several storage areas for placing jackets, bags, etc. on the conveyor belts.

This, it says, allows passengers who need more time to be ‘overtaken’, which in turn reduces waiting times.
