Smiths Detection is expanding its footprint in Japan with new partnerships with Japan Airlines, Hiroshima International Airport and Miyazaki International Airport.
Hiroshima and Miyazaki airports will install Hi-Scan 6040 CTiX Model S scanners and iLane A20 automatic tray return systems. The agreement with Japan Airlines brings both systems to three additional hubs: Haneda Airport, Ishigaki Airport and Okadama Airport.
For the Japan Airlines contract, Smiths Detection will provide four Hi-Scan 6040 CTiX Model S scanners and four iLane A20 systems for the airline’s Global Club premium checkpoints in Terminal 1 at Haneda Airport. These systems will be installed in the North Terminal by September 2026 and in the South Terminal by January 2027. Two Hi-Scan 6040 CTiX Model S scanners and two iLane A20 systems were installed at Ishigaki Airport in March 2026. One Hi-Scan 6040 CTiX Model S scanner and one iLane A20 system will be installed at Okadama Airport, with completion expected by March 2027.
The Hi-Scan 6040 CTiX Model S uses high-resolution 3D computed tomography (CT) imaging and AI-driven automatic detection capabilities, enabling passengers to leave liquids and electronics inside their carry-on baggage. The iLane A20 systems are designed to improve passenger flow and operational efficiency.
