PostNL Baggage Service connected to
Schiphol technology
systems with the relevant airline, which means that the baggage
is checked-in immediately. At the airport, the suitcase is loaded
onto the aircraft through the regular process, after which it can be
collected at the baggage claim of the destination. This allows the
passenger to travel to Schiphol without any hold baggage and they
can proceed to security immediately upon arrival at the airport.
“Schiphol continuously innovates to make the travel process as pleasant
as possible. With smart digital solutions, we optimise the passenger flow
and further improve the passenger experience,” according to Henk-Jan
Gerzee, Royal Schiphol Group’s Chief Digital Officer.
I
n March 2017, the PostNL Baggage Service was introduced for
passengers from Schiphol. More recently, the existing self-service
baggage drop-off technology used at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is
also used for this baggage service. The technology from the Scarabee
Aviation Group provides a scalable and future-proof solution. As a
result, more passengers and airlines will soon be able to use this service.
A PostNL employee collects the luggage and scans the boarding
passes at the doorstep. The information is verified via the Schiphol
“The step from ‘self-service Bagdrop’ to ‘online Bagdrop’ is an
important innovation in the travel process. The cooperation between
Schiphol Airport, PostNL and Scarabee results in more choice for the
passenger with a carefree journey in prospect. The passenger can
get on board knowing that his or her suitcase is in good hands,” said
Michael Tan, CEO of the Scarabee Aviation Group.
“By working together to professionalise the baggage service,
Schiphol, Scarabee and PostNL ensure that the process is even
smoother. Travelling to the airport without suitcases should be a
natural choice,” said Liesbeth Kaashoek, Director of Parcels and
Logistics at PostNL.
