Client: Airport institutions and security agencies in Albania and Cyprus
Year of Implementation: 2018
Location: Tirana International Airport and an international airport in Cyprus
CHALLENGES
In airport environments with high passenger flow, protection against risks requires trained operators to maintain maximum vigilance when using X-ray scanning equipment. Challenges included:
- Improving skills for identifying prohibited and dangerous objects;
- Managing visual fatigue and long-term concentration during shifts;
- Harmonization of the operational standard of security operators in accordance with international practices.
The solution from Albascan
Albascan developed and implemented a complete training package and drills for X-ray scanner operators at both airports, focused on increasing their performance and alertness:
- Practical training and advanced simulations with real threat identification scenarios;
- Use of up-to-date image analysis techniques applied to baggage scanning;
- Customized scenarios for each airport, depending on the type of flow and potential risks;
- Monitoring and evaluating individual performance for continuous improvement.
Results
- Significant increase in operator efficiency at both airports;
- Standardization of visual inspection and image interpretation methods;
- Faster identification of prohibited objects, reducing the risk of unsafe passage
- Successful international implementation, as an example of cooperation and export of Albanian expertise in security.
