Bags of innovation:

Automated baggage handling

Baggage handling is central to passenger experience as lost luggage causes huge stress for travellers. Some airports are incorporating baggage innovations to lessen the physical burden on workers while other airports have installed new processing systems that will be able to check every bag at every moment of the journey, from check-in to the aircraft. Gain insights into strategies and best practices for optimising baggage handling operations, improving throughput, and reducing costs to drive overall airport efficiency, performance and reduce lost luggage. Join this session to hear airports discuss:

  • From proof-of-concept to implementation
