Frankfurt Airport takes care of security checks itself

The airport group Fraport is the first in Germany to take over control of the passenger and hand luggage controls from the Federal Police. 

Declared goals are faster and more effective processes at the unloved control lanes, shorter waiting times for passengers and ultimately greater reliability of the entire air traffic system. Airlines and other airports are looking at the Frankfurt model with great interest, as the associations ADV and BDL assure. Because even in the comparatively low-traffic flight summer of 2022, the passenger controls organized by the Federal Police have proven to be bottlenecks, especially in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Berlin. Although the waiting times at Frankfurt Airport are usually reasonable, operations had to be artificially limited due to the shortage of ground handling service providers.
