Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and
security screening, today announces that it has signed an agreement
to supply Noida International Airport with both passenger and hold
baggage screening equipment to help ensure safety and efficiency
for passengers and operators.
Zurich Airport International AG won the bid to develop Noida
International Airport in 2019, and construction activities are well
underway. At its opening at the end of 2024, the airport will
feature one runway and one terminal, providing a capacity for 12
million passengers – with the potential for further growth in
additional development phases. Noida International Airport will be
India’s newest airport and seeks to be the country’s most
sustainable, while using technology to provide quick, cost
efficient and easy to use services to passengers, airlines and
other airport partners.
Smiths Detection will supply the HI-SCAN 6040 DV, an advanced
high resolution, dual-view X-ray screening system that will be used
to screen passenger carry-on baggage; the HI-SCAN 10080 XCT, a next
generation high-speed computed tomography (CT) explosives detection
system that complies with TSA and ECAC regulations and BCAS
standards; the iLane A20, a newly launched next generation
automatic tray return system which delivers a steady flow of trays,
removing bottlenecks and providing a seamless checkpoint journey;
and the IONSCAN 600, a portable explosives and narcotics trace
detector; and multiple additional X-ray screening systems to screen
oversized goods.
Vikrant Trilokekar, Managing Director of India, Smiths
Detection said: “Noida International Airport is set to become a
major hub for India, both for travellers to and from the country as
well as for air cargo and logistics. We’re delighted to be
