With ILBHS in place, passengers can now check their registered baggage directly at the counters without needing to use standalone x-ray machines. The system integrates automated screening, moving baggage through a series of security checks before loading it onto the aircraft via conveyor belts.

The ILBHS offers a four-level security screening process, ensuring rigorous baggage safety. This makes Trichy Airport the 12th in India to adopt such a system. Baggage screeners monitor for suspicious items, and any flagged baggage requires the owner to attend a manual inspection. Beyond identifying prohibited and dangerous materials, ILBHS can even detect exotic animals if present.
