• Initial 6 check-ins (Gate D) with manual sortation by EASYCLAIM™ have been upgraded in 2004 to a 22-desk check-in area including automated level 1 Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) and connection to T2 for sorting and Level 2/3 screening.
• Arrival reclaim on 4 flat TRIPLANAR™ carousels.

T2:

• 40 check-ins with ‘Walk Through Check In ’ for a straight-through passenger flow. Subsequently, bags are transported vertically to the baggage hall by elevators.
• After 100% HBS with EDS machines, baggage is automatically sorted by a HELIXORTER™ to 50-70 make-up chutes where full baggage reconciliation is applied.
