IMPORTANCE OF BAGGAGE HANDLING AT A LARGE AIRPORT

An airport offers the airlines both technical clearance facilities and traffic clearance systems. Within the traffic clearance system, baggage transfer must be accomplished particularly speedily and must be given high priority. The quality of the baggage transfer system is therefore a measure of the quality of the traffic clearance facilities as a whole. The transfer time of 45 minutes and an average failure rate of 0.02% achieved with its baggage handling plant place the Frankfurt/Main Airport in a leading position as a transfer airport.
