Security Screening

Security screening covers the full checkpoint and hold-baggage ecosystem: Standard-3 CT for cabin bags, automated tray-return lanes, full-body millimetre-wave scanners, explosive trace detection, liquid scanners, and cargo-dedicated EDS and EDD canine replacement tech. Procurement is tightly regulated by ICAO Annex 17, ECAC, TSA and local CAA approvals; each machine must be on the current ECAC / TSA qualified list. Airports, GACA, GCAA, QCAA and their PPP operators buy these assets with 8-10 year refresh cycles driven by threat evolution and regulatory re-certification.
