New Delhi: As many as 36 AAI-managed airports are likely to have a
hi-tech baggage management system in place by next year, which would
reduce waiting period for fliers by a significant amount besides
minimising disruption.
According to a statement, a new world-class baggage reconciliation system, SITA BagManager, by the global airlines IT solutions major SITA, has already been implemented at Chennai and Kolkata airports, which together receive some 15 million bags per year.
The rollout to the other 36 airports has begun and SITA's baggage systems are expected to be in operations at all of them by 2016, SITA said in a release.
In 2014, mishandled bags cost the global air transport industry a total of USD 2.4 billion, according to SITA.
The technology provides a real-time information on the status of passengers' baggage at these two airports, which helps reduce mishandling and solves baggage issues, and it is being used to facilitate loading, reconciling, tracking, tracing and managing all the 15 million bags.
