Jaipur airport gets inline baggage screening

JAIPUR: Flyers using Jaipur airport don’t have to queue up near the X-ray machines to scan their baggage before check-in. On Monday, Jaipur airport got the inline baggage screening (ILBS) system which will decongest the check-in area and passengers can straightaway visit the check in counter.
Airport director Jaideep Singh Balhara said this has multi-level computed tomography and will also enable authorities to detect explosives, if any. “This system will save time of passengers. They can directly visit the check-in counter and will get the baggage at the destination,” he added. “Also the ILBS system is integrated with the Airport Baggage Handling System in order to provide complete hold of processing and screening system. The cost of this system is around RS 18 crore in which our men will work in three shifts. This system can scan 1800 baggage per hour which would speed up the processing of passengers,” he added. TNN
