A tech firm is aiming to end the luggage crisis with its innovative app.<\/p>\n
AirPortr \u2013 A UK-based tech company has created an app that allows consumers to arrange for luggage to be taken door-to-door, rather than having to wait at the airport for their bags.<\/p>\n
The cutting-edge app is currently available for British Airways and Swiss International Air Lines flights between London and Geneva.<\/p>\n
The service can be organised for as little as \u00a340 (about R791), and customers don\u2019t have to worry about their bags between their homes and their end destination. <\/p>\n
However, the costs can increase the further the customer is from the airport.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, SeeTrue \u2013 an Israeli tech firm \u2013 is also geared towards speeding up the check-in process.<\/p>\n
The innovative software is said to work significantly faster than human security staff at airports, thereby hastening the check-in process for flyers.<\/p>\n
Assaf Frenkel, the company\u2019s chief executive, told the BBC: \u201cSeeTrue uses artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms to discover prohibited items in bags.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt connects to the existing X-ray and CT scanners, and detects in real-time, faster and more accurately than most human eyes, always on, and never getting tired or distracted.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result, baggage is delivered on time to the planes and not left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
The issue has been thrown into the spotlight this summer amid chaotic scenes at airports across Europe.<\/p>\n
Passengers have witnessed delays and cancellations, while there have also been baggage issues at airports, as the industry makes a slow recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and a significant turnover of staff.<\/p>\n
