Japan Airlines has announced it will progressively implement self-service bag drops and facial recognition technology at Narita International Airport.

The new bag drop system speeds up the check-in experience for travellers by allowing them to pay for and tag their own bags.

The trial will allow Ryanair passengers, staying at the Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh Airport hotel, to check-in their bags the night before their flight.

FTE attended PTE in London last week, where we explored a number of solutions that have the potential to improve the airport terminal.

The self-service bag drop units reduce passenger check-in times, and are currently in use by a number of airlines at Heathrow Terminals 2, 3 and 5.

The new check-in area in the terminal building at Montréal-Trudeau Airport delivers an improved passenger experience with its 16 new self-bag-drop units.

The In-Town Check-In service will enable passengers to carry out all check-in procedures at the downtown facilities before heading to the airport.

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.
