Varanasi: The LBS International Airport of Varanasi on Monday got the latest technology of baggage screening in the aviation industry, which will not only save time of passengers but also ensure foolproof checking of baggage.
With the formal inauguration of Inline Baggage Screening System (ILBS) by divisional commissioner Deepak Agrawal and airport director Akash Deep in the presence of officials of CISF, Airport Authority of India and all airlines this technology became operational at the airport.
Regarding the new arrangements of baggage screening, the airport director said, “With the operationalization of ILBS, Varanasi airport has been enabled to serve the passengers in a more efficient way. Unlike previous arrangements now the passengers will directly move to the check-in counter without waiting for registered baggage screening. This will save time and efforts of passengers.”
He said this is the latest technology of baggage screening in the aviation industry with more reliability, accuracy and efficiency. “Now, each baggage will be screened at multilevel in the new system as compared to earlier systems. This gives a 360 degree view of baggage which enhances accuracy of screening. Per hour screening of 1800 baggage, which was around 900 in the previous system, will be possible,” he added.
