Is RFID technology the way to eliminate missing baggage?
It is part of the solution. RFID can fix about 20% of baggage mishandling issues. The IATA business case showed that this was economically feasible, and the baggage improvement programme is now looking to address the use of RFID and also tackle the other 80% of mishandling issues. It’s important to understand that over 98% of baggage arrives at its destination with the passenger as planned!
