🚨 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.

No matter which way you look at this, it is a bad situation for passengers as we head towards the busiest travel period of the year. There was already enough confusion caused by the mixed roll out of the latest CT scanners, meaning different rules applied based on which airport you flew from. Flying from London City Airport you could leave up to a 2L bottle in your bag. Leaving from Heathrow you followed the old rules. A major headache for passengers. I am sure the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom have good reasons for this latest change but the timing couldn't be worse for airports and more importantly for long suffering passengers. #aviation #airlines #security #airports https://lnkd.in/e9C-wXxG

New EU restrictions on C3 scanners ℹ️ Starting 1 September 2024, travelers will once again face a 100ml limit on liquids in cabin luggage, even at airports equipped with advanced C3 scanners. This change not only diminishes the benefits of the technology but also places a significant operational and financial burden on airports that have already invested heavily in these systems.

SECURITY: UK #airports granted extensions to install new #security technology Some UK airports are to be given more time to install security technology that enables travelers to take greater quantities of liquids onto their flight. The UK #government says however that there are likely to be serious #financial penalties for those who fail to meet the new deadlines.

Balancing Security and Efficiency As airport operators, one of our key responsibilities is ensuring the highest levels of security while maintaining a smooth and efficient passenger flow. Every day, we face the challenge of balancing robust security measures with minimizing delays and disruptions for travelers. By integrating advanced technologies like CT scanners, automated lanes, we can streamline the screening process without compromising safety. But it’s not just about the technology, collaboration with security agencies, ongoing staff training, and enhancing passenger communication are critical to making these improvements effective. Our goal is to keep passengers safe, but also to make their journey as seamless as possible. #AviationSecurity #AirportOperations #SmartSecurity #PassengerExperience #EfficiencyInSecurity

- The EU reinstates 100ml liquid restrictions in airports, affecting passenger convenience.** - Airports equipped with advanced scanners face operational and financial setbacks.** The European Union has announced that starting from September 1, 2024, all air passengers traveling through EU airports will be restricted to carrying liquids no more than 100ml in their hand luggage. This decision rolls back previously relaxed rules, even in airports with new C3 scanning technology, citing concerns that the equipment did not meet required standards. The move mirrors the UK's earlier reintroduction of similar restrictions in June. Airports that had invested in the advanced C3 scanners, including several in the Netherlands, now face operational challenges, with little of the anticipated benefits materializing. European airport trade body ACI EUROPE criticized the decision, highlighting the financial and operational penalties for early adopters of the technology. They called for an urgent roadmap from the European Commission to restore trust in the EU certification system and potentially lift the restrictions in the future. #AirTravel #Security #EURegulations #PassengerExperience #AviationSafety

CT Technology to Be Installed across Airports in Canada

#LenzeInside - what does my luggage actually do after check in? Whether it's a holiday or a business trip, everyone has probably asked themselves the question: what happens to my luggage after I check in? After check in at the ticket counter, the luggage disappear on a conveyor system, the Baggage Handling System (BHS), into the lower area of the airport, where there is a labyrinth of conveyors, scanners and X-ray machines, which each luggage has to pass through at high speed until it finally arrives safely and on time at its aircraft. Our customer #Cassioli designed and built its new BHS together with #Toscana Aeroporti. In this case, the conveyors are joined by the latest generation of X-ray equipment for baggage screening, so the system meets the strictest security regulations of the responsible European government authority ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference). Strict guidelines also apply when it comes to energy efficiency in an airport, which could be fully met by using our 8400 motec, but not only that, it offers even more advantages: it is a decentralized solution that has configurable connections and is particularly quick to install. Thanks to Plug & Drive, commissioning is simple. The green LEDs indicate the operating status of the drives - even in difficult locations. The use of the 8400 motec has proven itself in countless airport projects worldwide.
