Visual Defence gets 140-250 USD million worth of order
Richmond Hill, Ontario
The airport's passenger safety and security screening BOT project encompasses risk assessment, security strategy development and complete strategy implementation including procuring, installing and integrating identified security technology, as well as hiring, training and managing airport security personnel. AviSecure will oversee project management and general airport security administration.
"Recent research indicates that the single greatest reason for sharp declines in airport passenger volume is time delays and congestion caused by multiple security lines," says Dagan Sadeh, CEO for Visual Defence "Enhanced, centrally-managed airport security is the key to increasing passenger volume and revenue. For this airport, the joint solution between Visual Defence and AviSecure will not only provide the software platform for technology, vendor and systems convergence but will also provide the personnel and training for comprehensive risk mitigation. The airport expects that the solution will reduce threats, enable streamlined security processes and significantly reduce passenger wait time, leading to increased passenger traffic and revenue for the airport"
The project will be directly managed by AviSecure Inc., the jointly owned subsidiary of Visual Defence and Canadian partner, SkyLink Security (Canada) Inc. AviSecure is focused on pursuing airport security outsourcing projects around the world. Following logistics and training, the current project is expected to be in full operation within six months.
