BARA executive director, Warren Bennett, said today Unisys had worked with BARA since 2004 to provide the baggage reconciliation system that links passengers with their bags, tracking both as they move through the system. Bennett says that each year airlines must secure and validate up to 20,000,000 bags for approximately 10,000,000 air travellers on international flights to or from Australia. “The baggage reconciliation system helps airlines comply with the Aviation Security Act's "Triple A" (account and authorise) regulations relating to baggage handling, which is mandated by the Commonwealth Government’s Office of Transport Security. “The Unisys baggage reconciliation system assists our member airlines to collectively meet compulsory security requirements for baggage handling. What’s more, it does so via an efficient, standardised process to prevent delays to passenger processing or tight flight schedules – two things that we know are essential for air travel customer satisfaction.” CONTINUED page 2 |
