In order to increase the comfort and security of our passengers, continuous improvements are being implemented at the security checkpoints in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. State-of-the-art technologies such as computer tomography scanners (CT scanners) are being used to replace the previous X-ray machines and enable even more efficient hand baggage screening.
The new CT scanners are available in Terminal 1, Module D, and at the central security checkpoint in Terminal 2. This makes the entire security process even faster and safer.
Security screening and passport control
Hand baggage checks become even more convenient
- Efficient screening lanes with higher throughput and reduced waiting times
- CT scanner: 3D view facilitates evaluation of images
- Electronic devices and liquids up to 100 ml can remain in your hand baggage. Please only take liquids with a maximum of 100 ml per individual container.
- Up to four passengers can place their luggage on the belt at once

Navigating the control checkpoints
With these tips and services, the security screening and passport control process is a breeze:
- Use all of the control checkpoints - In case of extended waiting times at the access area to your departure gate, especially in Terminal 1, follow the signs to the alternative control checkpoints. Follow the instructions of the airport staff. Our staff will ask you to proceed to another control checkpoint if waiting times are shorter there. For an overview of all of the control checkpoints, see the map.
- Save time with automatic screening - The automatic boarding card checks reduce waiting times outside the security checkpoints in Terminal 2. If you are travelling to a destination outside the Schengen zone, you also have the option in both terminals to use time-saving automatic passport control (e.g. EasyPASS).
- Be ready for the screening process - When packing your hand luggage, make sure that you can take out the things you need quickly. Plastic bags with liquids and electronic devices must be removed from bags at the security checkpoints and screened separately. You will also have to take off jackets, coats and other outer garments. Have them ready ahead of the screening checkpoint to help speed up the process.
