The contract includes installation of a baggage handling system with 100% X-ray screening of the baggage check-in at a frequency of 2,000 bags per hour. Siemens I&S was awarded a contract for the installation of the baggage screening and handling system at the La Aurora international airport.

La Aurora airport has a single, 2,987m-long asphalt runway (01/19), which is capable of handling some of the world’s largest aircraft. The baggage carousel is being expanded to cope up with the growing demand. The airport administration building is being renovated and a regional passenger terminal is being constructed. The size of the terminal expanded from 26,000m² to 47,000m². A new parking garage with a capacity to handle 500 vehicles was also built, while brand new ticket counters were also added.
