After lessons were learned the hard way last summer, a UK airport has installed new screening lanes to avoid long queues that led to people missing the start of their holidays.

Birmingham Airport, located just outside the UK’s second-largest city, has announced it has installed two “state-of-the-art” passenger screening lanes as part of a £5m investment in the airport.
