Thruvision Expands US Footprint with Orlando Airport Worker Screening Contract
Orlando, Friday, 13 March 2026.
Marking its fifth major US hub deployment, Thruvision secured a $0.6 million contract to implement advanced, non-contact aviation worker screening systems at Orlando International Airport by late March 2026.
Expanding the American Footprint
On March 12, 2026, Thruvision Group plc (AIM: THRU) announced an agreement with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) valued at $0.6 million, or approximately £0.4 million [1][2][3]. The contract stipulates the supply of five 81-Series screening systems intended for employee checkpoints at Orlando International Airport in Florida, equating to an average gross value of 0.12 million per system, inclusive of support services [1][2][3]. Deliveries of the equipment are scheduled to be completed in the near term, with a deadline set for March 31, 2026 [1][2][3].
Navigating Regulatory and Operational Pressures
The commercial aviation industry is currently grappling with increased regulatory scrutiny and logistical hurdles at employee access points [2]. Thruvision addresses these modern challenges through its specialized walk-through security technology, which utilizes artificial intelligence to identify concealed metallic and non-metallic items [1]. By offering a non-contact screening solution, the technology is designed to bolster security efficacy while simultaneously preserving the flow of the workforce and minimizing daily disruptions—critical elements for sustaining throughput at large-scale transit hubs [2].
A Broader Strategic Trajectory
This recent acquisition in Florida builds upon a steady trajectory of growth for the manufacturer, which maintains offices and production facilities in both the United Kingdom and the United States [1]. In December 2025, Thruvision secured a similar contract to provide aviation worker screening systems for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport [1][2]. With the addition of the GOAA contract, Thruvision’s screening technology is now actively utilized across five distinct U.S. airports, signaling a growing acceptance of non-contact screening within the domestic aviation sector [1][2]. Globally, the company’s security solutions are deployed in more than 30 countries, protecting critical infrastructure and high-traffic transit environments [1][2].
