What’s Changing?
Airport officials have placed strong emphasis on improving communication at the security lanes. New digital display boards and electronic message panels are being installed around the security zone to guide passengers even before they reach the screening belts.
These displays will continuously remind travellers about essential pre-screening steps, such as:
- Items that are not allowed inside cabin baggage
- Removing laptops, tablets, power banks, and other gadgets before placing bags on the X-ray tray
- Keeping liquids and gels separate for quick inspection
By providing these instructions upfront, the airport hopes to minimise last-minute confusion—one of the biggest causes of delays at security points.
Why It Matters
Passenger numbers typically surge during the winter months, leading to heavy congestion at peak hours. With these new measures, authorities expect the flow at security checkpoints to be smoother, reducing bottlenecks and offering a more comfortable experience for travellers departing from Kolkata.
