Global Trek Aviation Completes In-House Security Screening Upgrade at Belfast FBO
Global Trek Aviation is delighted to announce the successful completion of a major in-house security screening upgrade at its Belfast Fixed Base Operation (FBO) this month.
The upgrade ensures full compliance with the Explosive Detection Systems for Cabin Baggage (EDS CB) C1 standard, as set by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC). After careful evaluation, Global Trek Aviation selected the Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 7555 DV X-ray screening system, chosen for its exceptional performance and ECAC certification.
David McColm, Group Managing Director, stated: “This has been a significant investment in our security screening operations at Belfast International Airport. It demonstrates our company-wide commitment to full security compliance while promoting a better customer experience.”
He added, “This new screening standard allows electronics to remain in hand luggage, improving both screening efficiency and the overall passenger experience.”
Gordon Bingham, Group Operations Director, commented: “Global Trek Aviation worked closely with Smiths Detection, Wilson James Security, and Belfast International Airport to ensure a smooth installation process and consistent communication throughout the transition.” He continued, “The FBO team and Duty Managers did an outstanding job during the upgrade, and we’ve already seen noticeable improvements in screening times for our VIP passengers.”
This investment underscores Global Trek Aviation’s commitment to delivering top-tier service, safety, and efficiency at all levels of operation.
