Optimization on the number of open security lanes at Keflavik International Airport

Growing numbers in air transport passengers and increased emphasis on security have created pressure for airports to make changes in their operations to optimize their financial structure without deviating from increased security standards. The air traffic through Iceland has increased along with th...
