Aviation Efficient baggage handling in air travel

Optimal airport processes through end-to-end networking.

Challenges

Efficient baggage handling is crucial in air travel—both for safety reasons and because the limited storage space in passenger cabins allows only a restricted volume of hand luggage. Checked baggage is typically processed during check-in, while baggage reclaim at large airports is increasingly automated and unstaffed. PSIairport is a powerful solution that ensures seamless communication between various airport systems. The software allows flexible interface configuration, easy integration of new systems, and efficient filtering and targeted distribution of information. In this way, PSIairport supports modern, transparent, and streamlined baggage handling that meets the high demands of today’s air traffic.

  • Baggage handling

    Efficient baggage processes are essential due to security requirements and the limited storage space available on board.

  • Baggage claim

    Automated baggage claim at large airports requires powerful software to ensure smooth operations.

  • Staff shortages

    Fewer staff make baggage handling more difficult – automation ensures stable processes.
