For the development of the aviation security equipment testing and evaluation programme, an agreement has been signed today between the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).
This will enable AAI and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) to create clear standards, specifications and testing procedures specific to India's own standards of aviation security.
These procedures will be also in alignment with international practices for three types of aviation security equipment.
These three equipments are designed to scan carry-on luggage, checked baggage and passengers.
AAI recently also participated in the 20th World Route Development Forum held at Chicago from 20th to 23rd September.
Twenty nine metro and non-metro airports have also been shortlisted by AAI for the domestic and global airlines to start operations from there.
