Airport Communication, Environmental Control, and Detection Technologies

KeTech has announced two contracts to supply major European airports with dozens of scanning systems to allow them to comply with aviation security regulations regarding the permitted carrying of certain Liquids, Aerosols and Gels.

The €multi-million contracts will also see KeTech provide comprehensive service packages for the systems. These new regulations will benefit air travellers by allowing them to carry goods that they may have bought abroad and which previously they would have had to discard when transferring between flights.

Steve Berg, KeTech CEO, said: "We're delighted to be able to help major EU airports meet their obligations. The NUCTECH LS1516BA system that KeTech is exclusively providing has been thoroughly tested by the appointed testing bodies and is fully endorsed by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) as a Type B, Standard 2 system, the highest Type B approval available. It has also been thoroughly tested and trialled at airports in the EU before these orders were placed. We are confident that the system provided by KeTech offers operators the very best solution available, including a leading low False Alarm Rate that we understand to be significantly better than alternative systems. The low False Alarm Rate will allow our airport customers to meet their security obligations in the most efficient and effective manner possible.”
