Siemens AG (SIE.XE) said Wednesday it will modernize luggage security systems at Spain's five busiest airports for around 164 million euros ($179.7 million).

The contract was signed with Spanish airport operator AENA, which controls the airports of Madrid, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Malaga and Gran Canaria. The new inspection system will be able to handle up to 1800 pieces of luggage per hour and is expected to significantly increase traveler safety in compliance with international security rules, Siemens said.
