 Abu Dhabi Airports announced today several key capacity expansion initiatives at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), aimed at improving overall operational efficiency.

These projects are being delivered in cooperation with Siemens, and are part of the upgrade of the baggage handling system at the capital’s airport.

In Terminal 1, Siemens is adding new baggage conveyor lines and a fully automated hold baggage screening system, along with explosives trace detection equipment (ETD). This new system replaces the current manual screening in the lobby of Terminal 1 and Terminal 1A, freeing up space in the terminal entrance for departing passengers, and new retail facilities.

In Terminal 3, upgrades include doubling of check-in capacity and expansion of the baggage sorting areas.
