Siemens to supply new baggage handling system at American airport

Xinhua, January 19, 2015 Adjust font size:

German engineering giant Siemens AG announced here on Monday that it will supply a new baggage handling system in Terminal 1 at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the third busiest airport in America.

The project covers layout, engineering, assembly, commissioning and integration of a completely new outbound baggage screening system and a new inbound baggage handling system, according to the announcement.

Siemens declared a plan of completion of the project for summer 2017 at the world's sixth busiest airport.

"This order is a great success for Siemens Logistics and Airport Solutions. It is of particular importance since the American airport market is the biggest one worldwide," stated Michael Reichle, CEO of Siemens Logistics and Airport Solutions.

However, the announcement has not disclosed the concrete value of the order, only saying that it is part of a 508-million-U.S.-dollar project to modernize LAX's Terminal 1, which was originally built in the early 1980s. Endit
