It initially started with staff only. Four scanners, two each in Terminals 1 and 3, are currently in use for the full body scanner trials at Delhi Airport.
How will the full body scanners help passengers at Delhi Airport?
The full body scanners at Delhi Airport scanners are designed to protect personal dignity and speed up checks. Each full-body scan at Indira Gandhi International Airport takes around three seconds, allowing up to 1,200 scans per hour.
The newly introduced full-body scanner adds a layer of advanced screening without compromising passenger privacy or health. Unlike X-ray scanners, they don’t emit radiation, making them safe for all passengers, including pregnant women and individuals with medical implants. Notably, traditional metal detectors will still be used for individuals with mobility challenges or those unable to pass through full body scanners.
