Glasgow Airport has confirmed that the new security technology that has experienced an issue is the next generation security screening technology.The technology eliminates the need for travellers to remove items from their bags and is expected to create an easier and faster passenger experience.
A spokesperson for the airport confirmed to the Mirror that next generation security screaming technology was responsible for the queues, which some passengers have claimed are 1,000 people long and winding down from the top floor of the airport.
Passengers heading on half-term holidays through Glasgow Airport met with 'insane queues' this morning due to an issue with the airport's new security technology.
A passenger at Glasgow Airport has claimed they have "never seen Glasgow Airport like this" as she had to queue around the entire top floor.
Was a shame seeing so many people running through duty free to get to their gates.. A 2hr + wait for security in a smaller airport like Glasgow," one person wrote on X.
