Paper: “Baggage as a Service – From pilot to scale-up”
The development and introduction of innovative baggage services grows steadily. Whereas a few years ago there were just an few service providers, nowadays there are several, all providing different sorts of solutions outside of the traditional system.
Sometimes the services are offered by airlines, sometimes by third parties and in some cases by airports. Although the introduction grows steadily, there are still a number of major constraints.

9 October Workshops: ‘Baggage as a Service’ at Inter Airport Europe

Topic: Will bags increasingly travel separately from the passenger?

  • Market Demand
  • Capacity Constraints
  • Technology Drive

During the round table session, organised by Vanderlande, you will get an update of the current market situation, its challenges and the latest developments and solutions developed to solve the current restraints at airports. The participants will be able to describe and discuss their vision and ideas for the future of airports, from where we will drill down to what is needed now to achieve this. From this you will take away a clear picture of the industry’s current status, the goals we want to reach and what this means for all parties involved.

Hosted by Ad Rutten (Rapporteur of the Baggage Task Force of ACI Europe) and Katinka Bergema (Innovation Strategist).
