Smiths Detection and its local distributor, Eastronics, have
been selected by the Israel Airport Authority (IAA) to supply 32
advanced checkpoint lanes for Ben Gurion Airport and the new Ramon
International Airport, which is due to open in 2019. These latest,
highly functional lane designs from Smiths Detection incorporate
automated tray return and diversion and were developed to improve

“Automation plays a key role in streamlining screening by
literally keeping things moving and the result is increased
throughput, lower per capita costs and a passenger friendly
process,” explained Tony Tielen, Vice President EMEA, at Smiths
Detection. “With the help of Eastronics, we were delighted to be
able to meet IAA’s stringent requirements for this extensive
project, which could have a significant impact on maintaining flow
at the checkpoint and improving productivity.”
The ability to deliver a total solution and integrate it with
IAA’s unique security CONOPS was a key factor in winning the
contract. It comprises 20 lanes for Terminal 3 and six for Terminal
1 at Ben Gurion Airport, where Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 6040-2is
dual-view X-ray scanners previously purchased by IAA, will be
deployed across the new lanes. Six further lanes will be installed
at Ramon Airport, Israel’s impressive new international gateway
serving the south of the country and the Red Sea. Re-check
workstations, an option for remote screening and a SCADA
(supervisory control & data acquisition) system for image
retention, monitoring, statistics and reporting were also included
in the order.
Delivery and installation of the new equipment will begin in May
2019. Aftermarket service (other than spares supply), will be
delivered by Eastronics.
