AS&E (American Science and Engineering, Inc) estimates major orders for its Gemini parcel and baggage inspection system after giving live demonstrations at last week's Airport Show in Dubai.

'Our participation in the Airport show has been very successful. It has given us the chance to meet a number of regional civil aviation and airport security authorities and we hope this will lead to major orders now that people have seen and tested the Gemini system" says Robert Goodhouse, president, AS&E.

Gemini is a conventional system that combines two X-ray technologies, dual-energy transmission and Z Backscatter X-rays, allowing operators to simultaneously view two images of a parcel and obtain the most information about its contents.

The Airport show is the region's only dedicated trade show for airport construction, operations and technologies. It has grown by 25 per cent this year attracting more than 500 suppliers from 52 countries and representatives from over 30 civil aviation authorities and airports seeking suppliers for major airport developments across the region, claims AMEinfo.com
