ARINC EMEA Sponsors IT & Automation Conference at Inter Airports Europe in Munich

Annapolis, Maryland—One of the most valuable advances in passenger automation for today’s airports is the off-airport baggage check. As passengers increasingly take advantage of convenient check-in at train stations, hotel lobbies, and convention centers, the airport also benefits—from reduced congestion in the departure hall and simpler baggage logistics.

Industry expert William A. Faas will explore this fast-growing trend and its impact on the industry during his presentation on “Baggage Handling: New Technologies,” at the Innovative Airports, IT and Automation Conference, on Thursday, October 8th.

ARINC, one of the world’s leading providers of common-use passenger systems, has pioneered remote passenger check-in technologies since 2004.
