Pakistan’s first Explosive Detection System (EDS) has been inaugurated at the cargo terminal of Sialkot International Airport, marking a major step toward enhancing cargo security and improving export operations.
The advanced screening system was jointly inaugurated by SIAL Chairman Hassan Ali Bhatti and Export Development Fund (EDF) Chairman Omer Saeed during a ceremony attended by senior airport officials and directors.
According to airport officials, the EDS has been installed to strengthen cargo screening procedures, improve operational efficiency and facilitate exports in line with international standards.

EDF Chairman Omer Saeed said the new system would provide greater convenience to exporters and further strengthen Sialkot’s position as one of Pakistan’s leading export hubs.
