IDTechEx Case Study: Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, Baggage, USA

Overview McCarran International Airport in Nevada, USA brokered a five-year contract with Matrics to supply RFID tags for use in tracking passenger luggage, as part of the airport's commitment to improving customer safety and satisfaction. FKI Logistex will provide the system architecture and integration under a separate agreement. By law, airlines must now remove bags from aircraft when a passenger fails to board, in case a terrorist again attempts to destroy an aircraft with a bomb in an unaccompanied, checked suitcase. Without RFID, this is a time-intensive, laborious process, which can extensively delay flight departures. An RFID tag will be printed and attached to each bag at the ticket counter or kerbside.
