The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has procured a new scanner to examine general cargo dispatched through the export air cargo terminal at the Tiruchi international airport amid steady rise in overseas freight movements.
The imported scanner would soon be commissioned at the export cargo terminal.
The procurement of a new scanner comes as a huge relief to the stakeholders as the existing scanner had become very old leading to frequent malfunctioning much to the discomfiture of the shippers.
Airport sources said the new scanner costing ₹83 lakh and manufactured in the United States was expected to be commissioned next week.
Although the old scanner would act as a standby once the new one was put to use, it would continue to be used for scanning general cargo being shipped through the Tiruchi airport.
