Smiths Detection announced that Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) has successfully trialed its Computed Tomography (CT) technology-based carry-on baggage scanner, HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX at Terminal 2 Transfer Inspection Center, followed by a trial of the new Ultraviolet (UV) light tray disinfection kit.

Incheon International Airport, South Korea’s largest airport, is one of the top 3 airports awarded for World’s Best Airport Security.1 Committed to elevating safety standards for its passengers while preparing for its Terminal 2 expansion, Incheon International Airport trialled the advanced baggage screening systems over seven weeks, ending in June 2020. This is now being followed by a trial of Smiths Detection’s new UV disinfection kit, proven to kill up to 99.9% of microorganisms – including coronaviruses – found on trays at checkpoints.
