The airport began testing the equipment in Terminal 2’s immigration hall on Thursday (21 May) to detect any passengers arriving with a high temperature.
The system uses cameras to monitor the temperatures of multiple people moving through the airport, with signs informing passengers about the trial.
Although the airport stressed passengers will see “no visible change” to the arrivals process, adding that no personal data will be stored or shared during the trial.
If the trial goes well, the screening system could be rolled out to other areas of the airport, including departures.
