CT Technology to Be Installed across Airports in Canada

🚨 EU Regulation Impacts Airport Security Scanners 🚨 Starting 1 September 2024, new EU regulations will limit the use of C3 scanners across the EU & EEA. These scanners—designed to ease security by allowing liquids and electronics to remain in cabin bags—now face a setback with the reintroduction of the 100ml liquid limit. Airports have invested heavily in C3 scanners, which are 8 times more expensive than traditional machines. This shift is a blow to airport investment and a setback to the passenger experience.

It’ll be interesting to hear the discussions around these new regulations.

Liquid on the plane Revolutionize! https://lnkd.in/gxkYbfTU Good news travelers! Airports worldwide are easing up on liquid restrictions, all thanks to fancy tech like computer tomography (CT). This means you can now bring liquids on the plane over 100ml on board. Big European hubs like Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, and Rome Fiumicino are leading the charge. Let's break it down a bit further, shall we? You might be wondering, "How many 100ml bottles can I actually bring?" Well, traditionally, you're allowed as many bottles as can fit into a 1-liter resealable plastic bag, which typically works out to be around 10 bottles. Since the aftermath of the 2006 terrorist attacks, there have been strict regulations governing the transportation of liquids by air, limiting passengers to containers of no more than 100 milliliters each. This meant separating your liquids into tiny bottles and hoping they'd fit into that pesky plastic baggie (which is annoying)   But with the introduction of CT scanners at airports, the game has changed. Think of these scanners as your luggage's personal X-ray machine but with a twist. Just like the ones you'd find in a hospital, they create detailed 3D images of your belongings. This means security folks can spot any potential risks, like liquids, with much more accuracy. So, what exactly does this mean for your travel experience? Well, for starters, you can say goodbye to the days of worrying about whether your favorite shampoo or perfume will make it through security. With CT scanners in place, you can pack your liquids with confidence, knowing that they'll be thoroughly checked for safety. The arrival of CT scanners is shaking up airport security, bringing in a fresh era of baggage screening that's both precise and speedy. As more and more big-name airports jump on board with this cutting-edge tech, get ready for smoother, stress-free travels ahead. So go ahead, pack your liquids, and get ready to embark on your next adventure with peace of mind! Thus far only a handful of airports have implemented this cutting-edge technology, effectively eradicating or significantly reducing liquid restrictions.

More delays to the installation of the new CT scanners at UK airports. The FT states that the UK government has given an extension of up to 12-months for their installation and use. On balance, this was probably forced on the government as many airports were not in a position to meet the original 2024 summer deadline. Will this cause more confusion for passengers? Probably not, if there is good signage and comms. We have to remember that the airport at the other end of the route is unlikely to have the new CT scanners, so at present, this was a one-way benefit. Airports such as London City Airport and Teesside International Airport may attract more passengers as early adopters of the new scanners (and they deserve to do so!) but let's hope the rest of the UK airports catch up with them soon. #aviation #airports #airportscanners

REGULATION: European Commission reinstates liquid rules for airports using #C3 scanners The #EC said it will “temporarily enforce restrictions on liquid screening at EU airports using Explosive Detection Systems for Cabin Baggage (#EDSCB)”. These systems, also known as C3 scanners, are installed in several #EU airports and were previously approved for use in the #EuropeanUnion. They currently allow passengers to carry liquid containers exceeding 100ml. However, effective from September 1, 2024, the maximum allowed size for individual liquid containers will revert to the standard 100ml for airports operating this type of equipment. It is not currently known how long the ruling will be in effect.

Watch now: How does an airport help people quickly board a flight without compromising on security? Munich Airport asked that question when they wanted to improve the passenger experience in their Terminal 2. And the answer? They chose to introduce biometrics from Gunnebo. Biometrics is an excellent way to verify and authenticate individuals. It's simple to use, highly accurate, and helps maintain a speedy flow of people. Keeping queues down and visitors happy. With biometrics from Gunnebo, passengers could move effortlessly through Munich Airport towards their flight. And as a bonus, with better people flow also came higher operational efficiency for the airport. watch the video above or read more about how Munich Airport have discovered new levels of customer service and reliability here: https://loom.ly/wlDGv5I #security #airports #biometrics

We may have to wait a little bit longer before taking bottled water through airport security 💧 UK airports are set to extend the installation of new security scanners until 2025, postponing the original June 2024 deadline due to concerns from major airports like Heathrow, London Gatwick, and Manchester Airport, alongside global supply chain shortages. These state-of-the-art CT scanners, already operational at London City Airport and Teesside International Airport, utilise advanced X-ray technology to produce clearer, 3D images. Allowing items to remain in bags and increasing the liquid limit in hand luggage to two litres. The delay is sure to frustrate frequent travellers, especially those who need to get from A to B quickly – but what do you think of the news? #TravelUpdates #UKTravel #TravelNews #ACETravel #ATG

New CT scanning tech at UK airports, promising easier security checks, faces delays. Some major airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick, are behind schedule due to installation challenges. While London City and Teeside have seen success, others blame supply chain issues. The Department for Transport may impose penalties for further delays. Despite setbacks, the new tech aims to boost security and passenger convenience. Want to stay updated on airport innovations?
