As the industry begins to reinstate operations, airports will be looking to rapidly regain the confidence of travellers and staff. Fortunately, there are already solutions available that can effectively support the protection of public health while enhancing security and efficiency.
Short-wavelength UV light (UVC) has been successfully used for the disinfection of surfaces in industries with high hygiene requirements, such as the food and health sectors, for many years. We are using this proven technology in our UVC light tray disinfection kit, which can be retrofitted into Smiths Detection and third-party tray handling systems.
Smiths Detection’s HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX checkpoint CT scanner provides the highest level of security and the opportunity for liquids and laptops to be left in bags for screening. This can massively cut down the number of trays handled by both staff and passengers, and thanks to its industry leading low false alarm rate, requires far fewer rechecks by operators.
