The loading of luggage into the aircraft (and perhaps the offloading of of
non-accompanied bags) is efficiently supported by our Baggage Reconciliation
System. This system identifies each bag within seconds by scanning its label and
checking it against the airline’s database.
The system’s primary purpose is to make sure that a bag only flies on an
aircraft if the corresponding passenger is on board as well. It tremendously
speeds up the reconciliation of passengers and bags and the identification and
retrieval of bags to be offloaded again in case a passenger fails to board the
aircraft after having checked in his luggage.
A process that used to take as much as an hour or more, now is a matter of
minutes!
Once the luggage has left the Baggage Handling System, our fully integrated RMS
(Resource Management System) takes over. RMS helps prevent delays in loading
because it knows exactly how many carts and tractors are required at which
baggage chute at a certain time, where the aircraft is parked and how long the
dolleys need to get there. Flexible resource allocation, automatically taking
into consideration any changes in aircraft planning, position or schedule, and
online communication with mobile resources are the key to flexible processes,
the avoidance of delays and optimal resource utilization for the loading
process.
The information about the loading of baggage and cargo into the aircraft,
together with passenger status and fuel data is an important part of the load
and balancing process. This important process is supported by our full range of
IT systems, from rather basic to very sophisticated.
