New Glasgow Airport security system opens without a hitch

New Glasgow Airport security system opens without a hitch
Glasgow Airport's new multi-million pound security system has been hailed a success after thousands of passengers passed through without any issues on its first day in operation.

Forming part of owner-operators massive £200 million facelift of the airport, the new system includes ten state-of-the-art Atix X-ray machines, capable of scanning passengers at greater speed and with more accuracy.

As well as helping to speed up the security process for the millions of passengers passing through the airport each year, the initiative also means that domestic travellers are now free to make use of leisure and retail facilities previously only available to international flyers.

Commenting on the development, Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, noted: "Security is our number one priority, and we have invested heavily to build one of the largest security search areas in the UK, using the latest X-ray technology to speed passengers safely through the airport.

"Once through security, passengers can move freely throughout the main terminal."

At the same time, work has been completed on a separate £2 million project aimed at strengthening the bollards protecting the outer walls of the terminal buildings, with both measures taken following the foiled terrorist attack of 2007.
