PHUKET: -- The introduction of “in-line” security scanners at Phuket International Airport on Saturday (April 1) has resolved the problem of massive queues of tourists being forced to wait outside the International Terminal, airport officials have confirmed.

 

Phuket Airport Director Monrudee Gettuphan revealed that the “in-line” scanners were brought online at midnight on Saturday, with passengers no longer needing to have their baggage screened at the entrance doors to the terminal.

 

Passengers can now check in their hold baggage immediately, where it will be scanned via a conveyor-belt system before being loaded onto the aircraft, Ms Monrudee explained.

 

Previously, passengers had to check all of their baggage through an x-ray machine before entering the International Terminal, causing huge queues during busy holiday periods.

Welcome to the future HKT.

 

I will personally thank and shake hands with Ms Monrudee for doing her job next week when i fly again.

 

Awesome Monrudee for Governor!

Any update on the domestic terminal or do we still need to plan an extra bit of time at the moment? Trying the Air Asia Utapao flight later in the month.
