Smiths Detection received a US$19 million order from the Canadian Air Transportation Security Authority (CATSA) to provide X-ray systems for use at airport baggage checkpoints.
Following a similar $27 million purchase, CATSA’s new order is for threat identification X-ray systems. The order is the latest in the phased replacement of traditional single-view systems with multiview X-ray scanners in airports across Canada.
“We are proud of our relationship with CATSA and this latest order again underlines how our detection technologies are designed to meet our customers’ layered security requirements going forward,” said Cherif Rizkalla, President, CCO of Smiths Detection.
