Acting DOTr chief stops ‘redundant’ security checks at Iloilo Airport
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has ordered the removal of the initial security screening at Iloilo Airport to alleviate passenger congestion and provide more space.
Acting Secretary Giovanni Lopez issued the directive after an inspection, requiring airport management to submit a removal plan within 15 days.
Lopez cited the redundancy of the initial screening and the President's directive to maximize passenger space.
Passengers will still undergo a final security check before reaching the boarding gates.
The airport management is also tasked with finalizing plans to expand the passenger terminal building.
Furthermore, the implementation of automated check-in with facial ID recognition is being prioritized to ease passenger flow during peak hours.
DOTr reiterated its commitment to modernizing regional airports for an improved travel experience.
