"With airline customer service agents available to assist passengers if necessary, this improved level of service speeds up the check-in process and makes it possible for passengers to avoid line ups at counters."
According to HIAA, the new passenger processing model was part of a project that upgraded the baggage handling and screening equipment.
As part of the ten-year project, the airport also renovated both the check-in halls to create more room for passenger flow, as well as new equipment and processes.
Supplied by Buemer Group, the baggage handling system integrates with the new luggage drops and its space-saving design delivers better capacity and modern screening technology.
