Enhancing the traveling experience and safety of airline passengers
Business challenge
Help ensure passengers and baggage travel together to comply with Aviation Security Act’s “Triple A” regulations; for BARNZ, this involves 20+ international airlines operating in New Zealand from three airports at Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington.
Solution
Unisys developed and deployed a cloud-based advanced baggage reconciliation solution including managed services, network infrastructure, security architecture, handheld scanners, staff training and 24/7 help desk support, 4G network, and messaging services to provide connectivity to all airlines.
Results and Benefits
- Improved security and operational efficiency without impeding passenger flow
- Reduced cost and streamlined passenger service with measurable reductions in lost and mishandled bags
- Increased operational flexibility and IT scalability with the ability to handle increased volumes
- Enabled real-time visibility and, therefore, greater efficiency in baggage outcomes (lost bags)
- Met continued compliance with the Government’s Office of Transport Security regulations
