Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd., the flagship incubator of the globally diversified Adani Portfolio, has created a Customs Screening Room – an advanced inline screening room – in Terminal-2, equipped to enable Customs officials to screen arrival baggage quickly and efficiently.
The Customs Screening Room is equipped with a CCTV monitoring system to oversee baggage processing. The baggage screening system is integrated with advanced x-ray machines operating at 0.5 m/s – a significant increase from the previous 0.12 m/s – leading to a quick baggage reclaim for passengers and increased efficiency of the Customs’ baggage screening process.
Additionally, all international baggage arrival lines have been modified to include a ‘reject’ line with a diverter for bag acceptance and rejection. This new concept eliminates delays caused by Customs personnel having to stop the conveyor due rejected bags, thereby significantly improving the overall baggage throughput and efficiency of baggage handling. These enhancements will ease the baggage reclaim process substantially for international arrival passengers.
Further, increased x-ray speed and streamlined processes will create a faster and efficient baggage handling system by allowing Customs personnel to screen bags directly from the Customs Screening Room, rather than be stationed by the belts. This will lead to the processing of a higher volume of baggage in a shorter time, reduce wait times for passengers, and improve the overall travel experience.
SVPI Airport is committed to combining advanced technology and optimised workflows to handle peak travel periods more effectively and ensure that baggage processing remains smooth and efficient even during the busy periods.
