Fast & Easy Self Bag Drop Solutions

Date 21.07.2015

Geneva Airport has expanded its Self Bag Drop facilities to further improve passenger experience and increase check-in capacity. Eighteen months after the introduction of Self Bag Drop at Geneva Airport, the airport has doubled the number of Scan&Fly units, offering passengers of main partner SWISS and six other Star Alliance airlines more self-service facilities and a seamless journey through the airport.

Jacques Morgenegg, Project Manager landside at Geneva Airport explains: “Passengers are demanding technology like Scan&Fly. They want to be in control over their journey and be part of the process. That – together with capacity constraints – is why Geneva Airport installed Scan&Fly 18 months ago. We are very happy with the successful results and the good passenger acceptance.”
A complete SBD process
Geneva Airport implemented a combined Self Bag Drop process to facilitate passengers in the best way possible. Passengers who have not yet checked in prior to arrival at the airport can first check-in and print their bag tag at a kiosk before continuing to Scan&Fly to drop-off their baggage. Passengers who already have a boarding pass can proceed directly to Scan&Fly.

Mr Jacques Morgenegg: “Geneva Airport selected the Type22 solution because it offers the possibility of a combined Self Bag Drop process. It is clear that we have made the right decision. Approximately 50% of our passengers use Scan&Fly to print a bag tag and drop their baggage, while the other half uses Scan&Fly for bag-drop only.”
 
For now, seven Star Alliance airlines are using Scan&Fly: SWISS, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines and Tap Portugal. Jacques Morgenegg: “Common-use Self Bag Drop is our next aim”.
