Luggage airlines cannot lose
Losing your luggage on a flight could soon be a thing of the past after an airline developed a bag that is impossible to lose.
The prototype luggage technology, is called Bag2Go, i
Aircraft maker Airbus has helped develop technology which could eliminate the problem of missing baggage, a problem that costs the aviation industry nearly £2 billion a year.
The prototype luggage technology, known as Bag2Go, involves embedding a satellite tracker and bar code display on to the suitcase.
Using a smartphone, a passenger sends details of their flight to the airline which in turn sends back a bar code which is shown on the display unit of the case.
Each bar code is unique carrying details of the traveller, flight and destination. Should the bag be loaded on to the wrong aircraft, the combination of satellite technology and the bar code means that it will be easily traced.
