Chennai: International passengers no longer need queue up to scan their bags before check in as the airport has introduced in-line x-ray baggage scanning at the international terminal from Monday.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is implementing the system at Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Calicut and Srinagar. Chennai is the second airport to have in-line baggage scanning after Ahmedabad. The system has been introduced at a cost of Rs 12 crore.
The airport's scanning system has two in-line x-ray machines. Each line can handle 1,200 bags per hour, said a press release.
