Suvarnabhumi International Airport is upgrading its security screening facility at the departure terminal, which may cause some inconvenience to departing passengers. To minimize disruptions, the airport has alerted travelers to potential delays as certain checkpoints will be partially closed during renovations.
The upgrades will see the installation of an automated tray return system at security checkpoints, where passengers' carry-on bags are scanned for prohibited items. This will help increase checkpoint capacity from 3,300 passengers per hour to 6,650, resulting in a faster process and less congestion at the airport.
To handle the current situation, the airport is increasing staff members to assist passengers and working closely with immigration police to ensure an adequate number of personnel at passport control. Nevertheless, departing passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before their departure time to avoid any unexpected situations.
