Changi approached to test Iata-ACI Smart Security system

[SINGAPORE] The International Air Transport Association (Iata) and Airports Council International (ACI) are embarking on a Smart Security pilot programme to improve passenger screening procedures and are looking to recruit several leading international airports, including Changi Airport.

In December, the ACI and Iata signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop Smart Security jointly, where several cutting-edge security components will be brought together to test if they can work together under one programme.

Overall, it aims to cut queue times for screening, raise the level of security, reduce bottlenecks as well as minimise inconvenience for passengers.
