Calgary Airport has opened two new screening lanes at its ABC Security checkpoint, bringing all nine lanes into operation and increasing screening capacity for domestic travel.
ABC Security can now screen 1,800-1,980 passengers per hour, an increase of more than 70% compared with the airport’s previous domestic screening configuration.
Phase one of ABC Security opened last December with seven screening lanes, bringing three previously separate domestic screening points together into one simplified, modern and centralized security experience. Since then, Calgary has recorded more than 3.7 million travelers through the checkpoint. The airport has projected a 40% increase in travelers over the next decade.
All the screening lanes use the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority’s CT x-ray technology, which enables travelers to keep large electronics, medical devices and permitted liquids (up to 100ml each) in their bags during security screening.
ABC Security was designed to provide a calmer and more accessible screening experience, with clear sightlines, more room to move and dedicated support for travelers who may need additional space or a helping hand during their journeys.
