There’s a place all airplane passengers stop by once they disembark – the baggage claim area. A lot of people feel a little anxious there while waiting for their checked baggage to roll out.

The Baggage Tracking Service has been in trial operation since 2020.

You’ll be able to see in detail whether the baggage has been checked properly; how the inspection process is going if the baggage is subject to inspection; and whether the baggage has been loaded onto the plane without any problems.
