Under the deal, the company will install and integrate CTX 9800 DSiTM systems at 11 sites across nine Indian airports including Chennai International Airport and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata.

In addition, Smiths Detection will work together with AAI to implement the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) Standard 3 screening of hold baggage at Level 1 for inline systems across India.

“The system is powered by computed tomography technology and can be configured to deliver up to 1,800 bags per hour.”

The implementation of the systems will ensure airports comply with the standards of India’s civil aviation security authority Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).

Smiths Detection India general manager Jerome de Chassey said: “The Indian market is forecast to be the third-largest aviation market in the world by 2026, so security is a mission-critical factor in enabling India’s airports to be future-ready.
