Smiths Detection komt met ‘Avation Insider’: een nieuw wereldwijd portaal voor luchtvaartveiligheid

LONDEN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Smiths Detection maakt lancering Aviation Insider bekend – een nieuw online knooppunt voor de luchtvaartsector.
De gevaren voor luchthavens en de technologie om die gevaren aan te pakken blijven zich ontwikkelen. Daardoor is de noodzaak om geïnformeerd te blijven steeds groter geworden. aviation-insider.com is opgezet om de best practices in luchtvaartveiligheid onder de aandacht te brengen en discussie mogelijk te maken.
De website wordt gevuld met opinies van goed geïnformeerde experts. Ook verschijnen er artikelen van bekende figuren in de luchtvaartsector.
Cameron Mann, directeur Global Market, Aviation bij Smiths Detection: “De reeks aanslagen op luchthavens de afgelopen twee jaar is het bewijs voor het feit dat de 2200 luchthavens ter wereld te maken hebben met ongekende bedreigingen van de veiligheid. Een geïntegreerde aanpak van luchtvaartveiligheid, van de landingsbaan tot de gate, waren niet eerder zo belangrijk. Dit wordt onderschreven door de IATA en de ACI met hun Smart Security-scheme en vormt de kern van de aanpak van Smiths Detection om geïntegreerde oplossingen voor luchtvaartveiligheid te bieden.”

 

Smiths Detection Launches ‘Aviation Insider’: New Global Web Portal for Aviation Security

 

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Smiths Detection today announced the launch of Aviation Insider – a new online hub for the aviation sector.

As both risks to airports and the technologies to counter them continue to evolve, the need to stay informed has never been greater: aviation-insider.com has been set up to showcase best practice in aviation security and facilitate discussion.

It will host informed, expert opinions and articles written by leading voices in the sector.

Cameron Mann, Global Market Director, Aviation at Smiths Detection, said: “The series of attacks on airports over the past two years is evidence of the fact that the world’s 2,200 airports are facing unprecedented security threats.”

“Taking an integrated approach to aviation security, from kerb to gate, has never been more important. This has been recognised by IATA and ACI with their Smart Security scheme, and is also at the core of Smiths Detection’s approach to provide integrated airport security solutions.

“The benefits of a joined-up approach are considerable. Airport operators need to consider passenger experience, operational efficiency and security effectiveness when developing their security processes. They are interrelated and need to be considered together so that airports can streamline their operations and reap the benefits of improved efficiency and productivity.”

Mr. Mann continued: “Aviation Insider is designed to be a critical hub for industry opinion; a place where best practice ideas can be shared and where discussion between practitioners can thrive for this evolving landscape. Passengers need to keep flying with minimal delays and maximum safety and we hope that this hub will contribute to making that happen.”

The website’s launch comes as Smiths Detection – a world-leading designer and manufacturer of sensors that detect and identify explosives, weapons, chemical agents, biohazards, nuclear and radioactive material, narcotics and contraband – has set up a dedicated aviation solutions team to help airports improve their security, based on a fully integrated approach to security from kerb to gate. The team will develop integrated solutions for each airport adapted to their specific requirements.
