PASSENGERS passing through Melbourne Airport’s Terminal 4 no longer need to remove laptops and liquids from their carry-on luggage, with the Australian-first implementation of new Computed Tomography (CT) x-ray systems effective from today.
The system has been installed in partnership with Smiths Detection, and has been highly popular with travellers since a trial was first run at Melbourne Airport last year (TD 28 Nov 2018).
The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX system provides the highest level of detection using 3D images with low false alarm rates, according to Smiths Detection.
“It delivers advanced explosives detection and can allow for electronics and liquids to remain in bags, helping to expedite the screening processes,” the company said.
MEL Terminal 4 has four new security lanes using the scanners, with two more to be added in T4 in the next few months, along with seven in Terminal 2.
