A further 15 SITA Scan&Fly self bag drop units will be installed in KLIA2, following the successful implementation of 15 units earlier this year.

The self-service bag drop system, supplied by ICM, will ensure a much simpler and faster check-in and bag drop process in Hongqiao Airport’s renewed T1.

Passengers can use the Scan&Fly technology when flying domestically from Rio de Janeiro and will soon also be able to do so at São Paulo-Guarulhos airport.

Andrew Middleton, Director of Ancillary Revenue at easyJet, explains the motivations behind the new home check-in and baggage delivery service.

The CHECKITXPRESS self-service bag drop system will expedite processing times, as traffic at Vancouver International Airport is expected to increase.

FTE explores how airlines and airports are turning to electronic bag tags, remote check-in, baggage delivery and robotics to optimise baggage handling.
