The Airports Company of Zimbabwe ACZ is looking for international partners to help fund security infrastructure at the countrys major airports.
The Zimbabwe Independent reported that ACZ plans to install cutting-edge civil aviation security systems, with a strong emphasis on biometric technology.
ACZ CEO Tawanda Gusha said the US450 million R8,1 billion project is still in its funding phase before it can go to tender.
This investment will improve the security of aircraft, passengers, and cargo. It also has the potential to reduce airline insurance premiums. All systems will be using modern technology, including biometrics, he said.
By integrating biometric screening, AI-assisted surveillance, and next-generation cargo tracking, the ACZ hopes to meet security standards set by ICAO and IATA.
