The Advanced People Screening System, which is capable of detecting threat items on skin, clothing, carried items, bags, vehicles and other surfaces, will replace the legacy systems at the airport to meet new EU regulations on security.
The eqo portal will be deployed at central and transit checkpoints to be used when alarms or suspicions are raised during primary screening.
Copenhagen Airport security head Johnnie Muller said: “Copenhagen Airports is satisfied with enhancing the security performance of our checkpoints with the introduction of the eqo security scanner.
“The technology raises the detection capability to comply with new EU regulations while at the same time improving the experience of our passengers. Integrating seamlessly into our existing checkpoints, the eqo security scanner is a welcome addition to the security infrastructure of the airport.”
