In a significant step toward bolstering airport security and improving passenger experience, Chennai Airport is set to introduce full-body scanners next year. Officials from the Airports Authority of India (AAI) have confirmed that these advanced scanners will play a pivotal role in reducing wait times at security checkpoints and enhancing overall safety.

The newly designed integrated terminal at Chennai Airport has been prepared to accommodate these cutting-edge scanners, and their installation is expected to significantly expedite the passenger clearance process. This move comes as a part of a broader initiative to modernize security measures at major airports in India.

Recent developments indicate that the Public Investment Board has granted approval for the procurement of full-body scanners at four major airports in India, which includes Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, and Goa. The acquisition process for these scanners at Chennai Airport is already underway, with authorities in New Delhi overseeing the procurement.
