Security Screening installations at Zayed International Airport (AUH)
Security screening covers the full checkpoint and hold-baggage ecosystem: Standard-3 CT for cabin bags, automated tray-return lanes, full-body millimetre-wave scanners, explosive trace detection, liquid scanners, and cargo-dedicated EDS and EDD canine replacement tech. Procurement is tightly regulated by ICAO Annex 17, ECAC, TSA and local CAA approvals; each machine must be on the current ECAC / TSA qualified list. Airports, GACA, GCAA, QCAA and their PPP operators buy these assets with 8-10 year refresh cycles driven by threat evolution and regulatory re-certification.
Renamed in 2024 in honour of the UAE's founding father, Zayed International announced itself to the world with Terminal A — a sculptural, light-flooded building the size of 27 football pitches, opened the same year. Home to Etihad's Greenliner fleet, the airport is Abu Dhabi's statement that capital-of-culture ambitions demand capital-of-aviation infrastructure. Passenger volumes surged to 28.8 million in 2024 as Etihad accelerated a 170-aircraft fleet plan.
