One of Asia's Largest Airlines to Buy SU Group's AI-Aided X-ray Screeners

HONG KONG,Nov. 19,2024 --SU Group Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: SUGP) ("SU Group" or the "Company"),an integrated security-related engineering services company in Hong Kong,today announced it will sell AI-aided X-ray screeners to one of Asia's largest airlines. The premier airline will initially purchase from SU Group 11 AI-aided X-Ray screeners designed for screening air cargo to identify dangerous goods and prohibited items. SU Group's proprietary Threat Stopper adaptable AI-aided X-ray screeners offer a blend of enhanced security,efficiency,and adaptability that can ultimately contribute to safer and smoother operations,while providing a significant advantage in evolving threat landscapes.

SU Group's Chairman and CEO,Dave Chan,commented,"We are proud to be supporting one of Asia's largest airlines in this critical security function,a relationship that we forged together several years ago. Nothing is more important than security when focused on instilling confidence in travelers and providing a smooth experience. In addition,strong safety and security can be a powerful competitive advantage,as travelers prioritize airlines with robust security measures. Given rapid advances in technology and the continued surge in the number of travelers and parcels that need processing,we expect to see a corresponding increase in demand over the coming years for AI-aided X-ray screeners. SU Group is positioned to capitalize on this accelerating trend and expanded addressable market with a proven AI-aided security solution that offers airlines a blend of enhanced security,and adaptability that can ultimately contribute to safer and smoother airport operations."

Airlines are being motivated by numerous factors to invest in AI-aided X-ray screeners and security solutions for screening air cargo and luggage,including:

Increased Detection Accuracy:AI-enhanced systems can analyze X-ray images with a high degree of precision,allowing for better detection of prohibited items like weapons,explosives,or other dangerous materials. Machine learning algorithms can be trained to recognize even subtle patterns that indicate potentially dangerous or prohibited items,reducing the chance of human error.

Speed and Efficiency:AI-aided systems can analyze images faster than human screeners,enabling quicker processing times for luggage and cargo. This helps reduce bottlenecks at checkpoints,improving overall operational efficiency and allowing more passengers and cargo to be processed in less time.

Consistency and Reduced Fatigue:Human screeners are inherently prone to fatigue and may miss items. AI systems maintain consistent accuracy,providing reliable performance throughout the day,while handling large volumes.

Adaptability to New Threats:AI systems can be updated and retrained to detect new types of threats as they emerge,such as new explosive compounds or prohibited items that might not have been common previously.

Cost Savings: The improved efficiency and reduced need for re-screening and manual checks can lead to cost savings over time. Faster screening means airlines may need fewer personnel to manage the same volume of luggage,saving on labor costs.

Enhanced Safety and Customer Trust:By improving the accuracy and reliability of security checks,airlines enhance overall safety,which in turn fosters trust among passengers.

Compliance with Regulatory Requirements:As governments and aviation authorities place greater emphasis on security and technological advancement,AI-aided screeners can help airlines meet regulatory standards,avoiding fines and ensuring smooth operations.
