NOI - Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (NZ) - Notice of Intent: X-Ray Transfer Facility

MAF is intending to purchase and contract for a system which enables hold stow baggage on trans-Tasman flights bound for New Zealand to be assessed for biosecurity risk goods while flights are en route from Australia.

The X-ray Transfer Facility will involve the transfer of raw x-ray images and Baggage Source Message (BSM) data from Australia to New Zealand.

The X-ray Transfer Facility is one of a number initiatives designed to reduce the intervention of trans-Tasman passengers on arrival into New Zealand and streamline trans-Tasman travel.
