How do airports check incoming goods

score:5

Accepted answer

For large airports receiving and distribution centers (sometimes called concession logistics centers) are built to provide a consolidated location for receiving, screening, and distribution of all goods destined for the concession areas (for both pre-security and postsecurity locations). For example, San Diego has a near-18000 foot center where all goods are initially delivered.

The checks include visual inspection, and x-raying.

Smaller airports require authorized personnel to take goods through the regular screening process. This is a much slower (and less cost effective) approach. Delivery times are often strictly controlled to ensure security resources aren't used for concession delivery when the airport is busy with passengers.

The advantage of the large centers is that they provide centralized control and optimization of resources.
