In addition erosion of Customer SatisfactionCopyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | due to mishandled bags
Baggage Related Sa sfac on • Among the two-thirds of passengers who check baggage for their flight, 52% indicate they had to wait 15 minutes or longer to receive their baggage, among whom sa sfac on is 711, compared with 751 among those who experience a shorter wait me. • • Sa sfac on among passengers who pay for checked baggage has improved steadily during the past five years to 700 in 2015 from 637 in 2011. • The above data implies that other expanded services can be sold to passengers around baggage, provided it reduces/eliminates wait and has lower delays/damages to the bags.

How Airline Baggage Handling Systems Work
• A baggage-handling system has three main jobs: - Move bags from the check-in area to the departure gate - Move bags from one gate to another during transfers - Move bags from the arrival gate to the baggage-claim area • The measure of a successful baggage-handling system is simple: Can the bags move from point to point as fast as the travelers can? • If the bags move slower, you'll have frustrated travelers wai ng for bags, or bags failing to make connec ng flights on me. • If the bags move too fast, you might have bags making connec ng flights that passengers miss (is that important?)
