In a first such aviation security initiative, India and the US have
agreed to establish an equipment testing and evaluation programme as
part of their strategic partnership.
The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) entered into a cooperation agreement with Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) to establish an aviation security equipment testing and evaluation programme.
In a release, the USTDA said the proposed programme, the first security initiative under the US-India Aviation Cooperation Program (ACP), would "help AAI and BCAS develop clear standards, specifications and testing procedures that align with international systems that scan carry-on luggage, checked baggage and airline passengers."
USTDA Regional Director Henry Steingass "we are proud to continue our track record of connecting US experts to projects that will help India implement its vision of a modern aviation infrastructure with a new effort in aviation security."
