Heathrow COVID-19 detection trials
Heathrow to drive forward development of a Common International Standard by trialling technologies and processes that reduce risk of Covid-19 transmission. Trials will assess the processes for medical effectiveness, passenger response as well as suitability to the airport environment.
The measures will consist of tried and tested processes and technology as well as innovations new to the airport environment. Concepts under review include: UV sanitation, which could be used to quickly and efficiently sanitise security trays; facial recognition thermal screening technology to accurately track body temperature; and contact-free security screening equipment to reduce person-to-person contact.
Before any new measures are rolled out across the airport, they will be reviewed to ensure that the systems are medically grounded, build consumer confidence and are practical for airports to deliver.
