Airport Security

We Would Like to Call Your Attention To The Following Security Issues:

Security is a collective responsibility, and you, our valued passengers, are its most vital link.

• If your baggage was not packed by you personally or has arrived at the airport without your supervision, please inform the security personnel immediately.
• Should you observe any suspicious behavior within the terminal or onboard the aircraft, kindly notify the nearest security officer.
• If you notice that another passenger has left personal belongings behind during disembarkation, please alert the cabin crew.
• Refrain from accepting baggage or packages from other passengers during check-in procedures.
• We kindly ask that you cooperate fully with security personnel and adhere to their instructions.
• Please be reminded that any unlawful interference with airport or aircraft operations may have serious consequences for our country.
• Report any suspicious circumstances to the relevant authorities without delay.
• For detailed information regarding prohibited items in aircraft and sterile areas, we recommend contacting your airline.

Tips for Efficient Security Screening

To ensure a smooth and timely security process, we kindly ask that you prepare as follows:

• Prior to reaching the checkpoint, please be ready to place items such as mobile phones, coins, pens, coats, jackets, and belts into the X-ray screening trays.
• Sharp, piercing, flammable, or explosive items should be placed in your checked baggage during check-in.
• Remove laptops and other electronic devices from their cases and present them separately for X-ray screening.
• Proceed to the queue without waiting for verbal instructions and be prepared for the screening process.
• Do not cross the red line until the previous passenger has completed their screening. If the metal detector signals, check for metallic items and follow the instructions of the security staff.
• If you are carrying valuable items such as gold or cash, please inform the staff in advance and request screening in a private cabin.
• X-ray machines may affect professional cinema films. If you are carrying such materials, please use a lead-lined protective bag.
• All security devices are certified by TAEK and are subject to regular inspections.
• Requests for exemption from security screening cannot be accommodated.
• It is strictly prohibited to enter the airport with weapons, explosives, replica weapons, toys, or any items that may be used for unlawful interference. Please declare such items at the security checkpoint.
