Securitas Secures Contract for Passenger Screening at Frankfurt Airport

The new contract begins on January 1, 2026, and will run for four years with an option for a two-year extension. As part of this, the security provider will take exclusive responsibility for security checks at the new Terminal 3, which will go into operation next year. Securitas already handles screening tasks in Terminals 1C and 2.

With the new contract for Terminal 3, Securitas will be conducting security checks in one of the most modern airport areas in Europe. Terminal 3, which will begin operations after Easter 2026, will expand Frankfurt’s hub capacity by up to 19 million passengers annually and plays a central role in the growth strategy of airport operator Fraport. The project brings new security requirements, which Securitas will fully meet with technological expertise, a location-specific concept, and a high-performing team. The new contract secures employment for over 800 security personnel at the site, reinforcing Securitas’ role as one of the most significant employers at the airport.

Securitas has been active at Frankfurt Airport since 2023. At that time, airport operator Fraport took over the management of aviation security checks from the Federal Police. Since then, Securitas has been involved in shaping the new organisational model at the site from the beginning. The successful cooperation between the airport operator, security partner, and authorities will now be expanded with the new contract award.
