RFID technology is playing a pivotal role in enhancing baggage handling processes at airports by automating various manual tasks, including baggage check-in, loading onto and unloading from airplanes. This automation translates into reduced wait times for passengers, significantly improving the overall travel experience. A notable example is Delhi Airport's introduction of RFID-enabled tags, allowing passengers to receive real-time information about their luggage. Travellers can now track when and on which baggage belt their check-in luggage will arrive at the terminal. These benefits are driving the adoption of RFID technologies within the airline industry.
