100 Percent Hold Baggage Screening Soon to be Implemented at Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt, Germany (ots) -

From next January, the European Union
requires all European airports - including Frankfurt Airport - to
screen all hold baggage before loading, as part of tighter security.
This requires installation of  additional baggage X-ray machines and
may result in longer waiting times.

As of January 1, 2003, passengers are, therefore, advised to
arrive at the airport a little earlier and allow some extra time for
check-in until the new procedures are routine. The additional X-ray
machines will be installed in front of the check-in counters in both
terminals at Frankfurt Airport.
