Texas-based Garrett Metal Detectors, in collaboration with CIS Seguridad, has recently disclosed that the Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia will deploy nineteen of its PD 6500i walk-through metal detectors across fifteen sites throughout Colombia. This procurement marks a significant milestone, following Garrett’s successful bid in a competitive tender process.

The PD 6500i model, renowned for its aviation certification, emerged victorious against competing models primarily due to its track record of reliability, detection efficiency, and user-friendly interface, factors that resonated well with Aeronáutica Civil’s operational needs. Widely favored in global airports, the PD 6500i boasts compliance with rigorous security standards such as TSA and ECAC certifications.

Garrett Metal Detectors’ achievement underscores its commitment to providing state-of-the-art security solutions, further solidifying its reputation as a preferred choice in the field of aviation security equipment.

“Garrett offers real results and real value,” said International Security Sales Director Leo Zelenkevich. “Our detectors provide the detection airports need alongside the agnostic and license-free remote management tools that really bring an aviation security checkpoint together.”

Enhanced by the iC Module accessory for remote management and monitoring, the PD 6500i is tailored with airport-specific configurations, making it seamlessly compatible with any airport screening system. As one of the most certified metal detectors available, users can trust that a checkpoint equipped with the Garrett PD 6500i ensures utmost security.
