(Sharecast News) - Shares in AIM-listed Thruvision gained on Friday after the security scanner company won a 400,000 contract with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
The deal will see Thruvision provide five 81-Series walk-through security systems with battery-powered bases to support aviation worker screening operations at Orlando International Airport in Florida.
The total contract value is $0.6m, which equates to 0.4m at current exchange rates, with equipment delivery expected by 31 March.
The contract, which includes two years of enhanced support, follows the recent award for aviation worker screening systems at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport announced in December, meaning a total of five US airports are now using Thruvision systems.
"This order reinforces our growing position in the U.S. aviation market," said Kevin Gramer, the senior vice president of Thruvision Americas.
"Airports need worker screening solutions that are mobile, compliant, and affordable-without compromising security or throughput. Thruvision systems are designed to give operators that flexibility, helping them strengthen employee screening while keeping operations moving efficiently."
Thruvision shares were up 7.4% at 0.94p by 1019 GMT.
