Morpho Partners with UK's Cornwall Airport Newquay for Advanced Baggage and Passenger Screening
Morpho (Safran), through its subsidiary Morpho Detection, today announced a contract with U.K.'s Cornwall Airport Newquay to supply and service advanced detection solutions that screen passengers and baggage for explosives and contraband.
Following competitive tendering, Cornwall Airport Newquay selected Morpho's compact CTX 5800â„¢ explosives detection system (EDS) to screen all passenger checked baggage. In addition, Morpho will supply baggage handling system (BHS) components, including conveyers, to enable a fully-automated hold baggage screening program. As a result, Cornwall Airport Newquay will be the first U.K. Airport to comply with Department for Transport regulations mandating Standard 3-approved EDS to screen all hold baggage by September 2018. At the checkpoint, Morpho will supply cabin baggage X-ray systems and walkthrough metal detectors to facilitate a robust, multilayered approach to checkpoint security.
