The self bag drop helps a lot with social distancing and minimum interaction or need for the use of the full service counter. It should be even more efficient once Biometric starts.

A total of 16 self bag drop kiosks have been in operation at YUL since November 2018 delivered by Materna ips with also providing operational support for the next three years.
Hamburg Airport has taken a pioneering role in the deployment of self-service systems in Germany. The first “self bag drop” kiosks were introduced here in 2014.

Materna IPS carried out the installation successfully and now also takes care of the complete service and database structure.

The SBD project initially aimed at fast travel, but now also at the new requirements of social distance to give our passengers the necessary security. We have further developed the customer experience together with Materna who have provided an innovative system for an easy and comfortable self bag drop process at Tokyo International Airport HANEDA.

Many of our passengers have already discovered the benefits of the kiosks for themselves and given us very positive feedback. We have hardly encountered any technical anxiety on the part of our passengers. The system is straightforward and self-explanatory.
