Finavia expands Type22 Self Bag Drop to third airport

 
June 2, 2015 – Finavia continues to expand its Self Bag Drop facilities for their passengers. Since May 2014, passengers at Helsinki Airport and since September 2014 Oulu Airport have the opportunity to use Scan&Fly to check-in their hold baggage. Turku Airport is the third airport, and will now offer this Type22 Self Bag Drop service to passengers flying with Finnair.

A comfortable start of the passenger journey
“Customers are accustomed to handling many stages of their journey independently. Self-service check-in, for instance, is already used by over 80% of Finnair’s customers. Dropping off baggage at a self-service bag drop unit reduces the customer’s queueing time at the airport and speeds up the start of the journey,” says Johanna Bagge, Director Customer Service at Finnair.
Fast and Easy Self Bag Drop
Scan&Fly allows customers to tag and drop their baggage without assistance, provided that they have checked in online or at a self-service check-in kiosk. This results in faster check-in times for passengers, while the airport benefits from balancing out capacity during peak periods and a more efficient use of the departure terminal.

At all airports, Finavia chose for a two-stop Self Bag Drop process. The baggage tag is printed at the self-service check-in kiosk. After de bag tag is attached, the bag can be placed on the conveyer belt at Scan&Fly. The passenger scans the bag tag using a hand held scanner, and the bag is ready to go.

“Finavia invests in smoother air travel by adding more self-service functions to its airports. Scan&Fly from Type22 smoothens the travel experience in peak hours and shortens the processing time. To us it means a lot to improve the airport experience and to make the travelers happy.” says Joni Sundelin, SVP at Finavia, Director of Airport Network, Sales and Marketing.

Finavia has installed Scan&Fly, the Self Bag Drop solution from Dutch company, Type22.
