The airport has opened a new “nothing to declare” express lane with detector dog screening, as well as new and expanded “back-of-stage” areas. Travellers with items to declare must still go through existing customs lanes.
Dubbed the “most significant transformation of the departure hall since the 1970s”, the project will see the installation of common-use self-service kiosks and automated bag drops to replace around 60 existing check-in desks by the end of the decade.
