Manchester Airport invest £12m in new luggage screening technology
07.06.11
Manchester Airport has announced a £12 million investment in new high-speed passenger luggage screening x-ray technology developed by Rapiscan Systems to speed up its hand baggage security search.
The Real Time Tomography (RTT) machines are designed to generate extremely high-resolution 3-D X-ray images of passenger baggage at far higher speeds and greater reliability than the technology currently in use. As a result, RTT significantly improves detection of potential threats to aviation security, reduces delays in baggage handling, increases the efficiency of airport operations and improves the overall experience of airport customers.
Installation of the new machines is expected to begin in Spring 2012 with the project completed by Autumn 2012.
