Security Screening installations at Hamad International Airport (DOH)

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.

Hamad International is what happens when a state airline designs its own cathedral. Opened in 2014 and already expanded twice, it serves as Qatar Airways' global spine and routinely tops Skytrax's best-airport rankings. 2024 traffic hit 52.7 million passengers and cargo cleared 2.6 million tonnes — both records. Phase C, now in tender, will lift capacity beyond 70 mppa and add a second passenger processing hall.
