Implementation of Baggage Tracking Systems in the Airline Industry

Prtljaga predstavlja predmet prijevoza koji prolazi sve tri temeljne faze ukupnog procesa prijevoza, tj. fazu otpreme, fazu čistog prijevoza i fazu prihvata. Prilikom prijevoza predane prtljage moguće su razne nepravilnosti u prijevozu prtljage te se tada govori o neregularnoj prtljazi. U današnjoj industriji zračnog prometa postoje razni načini za smanjivanje neregularnosti. IATA rezolucija 753 o praćenju prtljage svojim rješenjima omogućuje smanjenje takvih neregularnosti. Praćenje je pritom obavezno na četiri točke, i to prilikom registracije na let, pri ukrcavanju u zrakoplov, tijekom transfera i na preuzimanju pri dolasku. Postoje razni oblici implementacije novih sustava za praćenje prtljage koji su već implementirani na zračnim lukama diljem svijeta.Baggage is a transport item that undergoes all three basic phases of the overall transport process, i.e. the shipment phase, the transport phase and the acceptance phase. When transporting checked baggage, there are various irregularities in the baggage transportation, and that kind of baggage is called mishandled baggage. In today's airline industry, there are various ways to reduce irregularities. IATA resolution 753 on baggage tracking with its solutions enables airlines to reduce those irregularities. Tracking is mandatory at four points: passenger handover to airline, loading to the aircraft, deliver to the transfer area, return to the passenger. There are various forms of implementation of new baggage tracking systems already implemented at the airports all around the world
