The new baggage handling system has been designed to enable easy scalability to safeguard the UK airport for the future expansion of its Terminal 2. 

Last month, Beumer Group received a ten-year contract for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the baggage handling system at YYC Calgary International Airport in Canada.

The company designed and commissioned the latest automated system as part of the airport’s new international terminal that opened in October 2016.

The company is currently working on integrating the system in the airport's domestic terminal.
