Barbados Airport New High-Tech Security Scanner

Barbados Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) has stepped up its security with the acquisition of a high-tech scanning system.

The IONSCAN 500 DT Simultaneous Explosives and Narcotics Trace Detector System will allow Airport Security to simultaneously scan for traces of explosives as well as narcotics.

This machine, which is currently used internationally, is a step up from the IONSCAN 400 B, which was previously used, and only allowed for single mode scanning.

The security equipment was procured through a joint Government and Inter-American Development Bank Strengthening of Airport Security Project, which also provided specialist training for some 250 airport workers in areas related to airport security.
