Air Canada Cargo has placed a follow-up order for Itemiser DX explosives trace detectors (ETD) from Morpho Detection, which includes service contracts to screen air cargo.
Following an initial deployment in 2014, Air Canada Cargo is replacing old screening technology to maintain compliance with the country’s air cargo screening regulations. The government department responsible for developing transportation security procedures, Transport Canada, keeps a list of qualified equipment and services to help the industry maintain compliance with Canada’s air cargo security regulations.
A lightweight, portable desktop system, Itemiser DX can detect residue from explosives on parcels, bags, cargo, skin, clothing, vehicles and other surfaces. First qualified for air cargo screening in 2010 and certified by seven global regulatory agencies, more than 5,000 Itemiser DX units have been deployed to air cargo screening facilities, airport checkpoints, checked baggage screening and secure locations around the world.
