Andrew Price, IATA’s Head of Baggage Services, underlines that his focus is “on enabling a customer experience that is a hassle-free end- to-end journey.

The IATA InBag programme is addressing both quality and speed by driving effi ciency and enabling innovation in baggage handling. It’s a team effort and we are pleased to have the co-operation of many of our Strategic Partners.” As a result of this industry’s need for a new approach where airlines, ground handlers and airports have a complete baggage management suite, this innovation will help them manage the entire life cycle of their passenger’s bags. It’s not just a reconciliation system, but an end-to-end tool, which gives high visibility and transparency of baggage movement, one that ensures bags are on time, every time. mBELT was designed by mercator to specifi cally address this need.
