Chopin Airport invests in new technologies
In the coming months, Chopin Airport will implement important technological solutions that will speed up the passenger journey to the plane. – After the end of the summer, we will start installing self-service gates at the plane exits, i.e. the so-called self-boarding gate. We are also working on implementing automatic baggage drop-off stations and purchasing 3D scanners that will speed up security checks. These innovations will improve the safety and comfort of our passengers, Ilków assures.
