Centralised security screening implemented at Suvarnabhumi Airport

BANGKOK, Sept 6 (TNA) -- In an attempt to facilitate outbound passengers and enable flights to leave on schedule, officials at Suvarnabhumi Airport will implement a centralised security screening system starting at1 am Monday, said Airports of Thailand president Serirat Prasutanond.

The airport has already implemented the system in the west wing of the airport since 1 am Sunday, Mr Serirat said.

Outbound passengers gave full cooperation in baggage checking, although there are still some glitches remaining, including a lack of signage advising passengers and an adjusted path for passengers using wheelchairs.

Effective 1 am Monday, an overall centralised security screening system will be implemented, he said.

Passengers are advised to keep sharp objects such as knives, scissors, cutting tools as well as liquids in their baggage for check-in. Not over 10 liquid items may be placed in a clear ziplock bag for hand-carrying. Each passenger is allowed to carry only one ziplock bag. (TNA)
