Lufthansa demands use of more modern scanner technology

Lufthansa German Airlines has referred to as for the use of much more modern scanner technology at security checkpoints. “There is point out-of-the-art know-how that would significantly velocity up safety checks. Rather, more mature technology is mostly in use at airports in Germany,” Lufthansa board member Detlef Kayser, responsible for fleets and infrastructure, informed Bild am Sonntag, in accordance to an advance report on Saturday. Much more fashionable scanners, for instance, no lengthier involve liquids and computer systems to be taken out from bags. “For our clients, I would like to see the new units deployed as before long as possible.”

Kayser signaled apparent opposition to Interior Minister Nancy Faeser’s (SPD) proposal to open up precedence boarding to all travellers. “Priority boarding of plane is not the trouble at the minute. Breaking up rapid lanes at government stability checkpoints won’t support in the latest condition either. The strains are extensive everywhere you go. We will need methods for all travellers,” said the Lufthansa board member.

Too few workers in the higher year is at present triggering chaos in air site visitors at airports and has by now led to far more than 3,000 flight cancellations in the summer time, even at the core Lufthansa brand name. According to the airline, this corresponds to 5 percent of prepared flights. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr had apologized to shoppers for this, but does not count on any sweeping improvement this summer months. There is a shortage of manpower, primarily in ground solutions.
