The Gold Coast Airport will be partnering with Smiths Detections after trialing new CT technology screening systems on carry-on baggage.

The technology produces 3D images that remove the need for passengers to unload items such as laptops, gels, or liquids.  

The new system was implemented in January this year, and staff reported a significant enhancement in the security screening process - for both passengers and members of the security team - until the trial ended on March 1.
