AirAsia installs Type22's Scan&Fly at Senai Airport

May 6, 2015 – AirAsia, the world’s leading low-cost airline, has installed Self Bag Drop machines at Senai International Airport, Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The installation of Scan&Fly makes Senai International Airport the first AirAsia station that offers this service. AirAsia chose for a Two-stop Self Bag Drop process to optimize the use of technology and space in the terminal, resulting in fast transaction times and improved workflow processes.

Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Berhad, Aireen Omar said: “At AirAsia, we continuously work hard to make the check-in process as efficient and smooth as possible and provide a seamless travel experience for our guests.
Fast Self Bag Drop
Scan&Fly enables passengers to check-in their baggage by themselves without having to queue at a check-in desk. Passengers who opt for this will be able to print their bag tags while performing self-check-in at the kiosks and proceed to drop their baggage at Scan&Fly, without any assistance.

The user-friendly Self Bag Drop unit will automatically check flight data, baggage weight and size allowances as well as multiple bags before securely depositing the bag into the baggage handling system.
“The average time needed to check-in at the airport counter, including queuing time is about 5 minutes; but with the introduction of the complete Self-Service options, including the latest Self Bag-Drop feature, it takes only up to two minutes and 35 seconds on average to complete the whole check-in process,” says Aireen Omar. 
Scan&Fly
For this project AirAsia chose for Scan&Fly, the retrofit Self Bag Drop solution from Dutch based Type22. Scan&Fly from Type22 is installed at more than 15 airports, and offers passengers of more than 35 airlines the best Self Bag Drop experience, establishing Type22 as one of the world’s leading Self Bag Drop suppliers.
