Germany-based Stuttgart Airport has installed an efficient and fast self-service bag drop system from Sita to enable passengers to check in and drop their bags off quickly.
Stuttgart Airport’s new Sita Scan&Fly system will be first used by passengers travelling via German low-cost airline Eurowings.

Currently deployed at Terminal 1 of the airport, the system will enable passengers to check in their baggage in less than a minute, which will ultimately lead to fewer queues and an improved passenger experience.
Stuttgart Airport is planning to install the Sita Scan&Fly at Terminal 3 over the next few months to allow more airlines and passengers to use the convenience.
Stuttgart Airport chief operating officer Wolfgang Müller said: “Sita’s retro-fit solution was ideal, it utilises our existing airport infrastructure so no additional terminal space was required.”

SITA Europe president Dave Bakker said: “Passengers want self-service and we know that they are happier at the steps of the journey where they have more choice and control in how they manage their trip.
“Retro-fitting self-service bag drop is a quick and easy way to make this happen. In fact, our solution Scan&Fly allows more passengers to drop their baggage within the same check-in area, with less queuing and can increase terminal capacity by up to 60%.
“It is the perfect choice for airports – its plug-and-play design means it can be installed overnight onto existing airport check-in desks. It’s easy to use so passengers and airlines love it too.”
Earlier this month, Sita provided its airport traffic management solution to Nice Airport in France.
