Technology Reduces Costs, Improves the Passenger Experience and Enhances Sustainability
(SOURCE: 4HOTELIERS)

An incredible 5 billion+ passengers took to the skies in 2023, flying above the pre-pandemic total in 2019, but more passengers mean more mishandled bags – a total of 36 million worldwide last year – even though overall mishandling rates declined.

Mishandling is an expensive headache for airlines. Each mishandled bag costs about US$ 150 according to SITA’s latest research, and this means milllions of dollars disappear from the bottom line per year, globally.
