Henri Coandă International Airport Bucharest becomes the first in the country to introduce an artificial intelligence-based system for estimating luggage delivery times in the arrivals area. Developed in partnership by the Bucharest National Airports Company and EUROCONTROL, the project represents a technological premiere for Romania’s airport infrastructure, aiming to streamline operational processes.
The system, currently in the first stage of the “Prediction of Luggage Delivery Time” project, uses machine learning algorithms and advanced data analysis to anticipate when luggage will arrive at the reclaim carousels. According to a CNAB press release cited by Mediafax, the technology analyzes factors such as flight number, aircraft ground position, airline, handling agent, historical delivery times, and baggage carousel allocation. The initiative is part of the EATIN (European Aviation Transport Innovation Network) program and was developed at the EUROCONTROL Innovation Hub in Brétigny-sur-Orge, France, aiming to optimize flows, increase punctuality, and improve passenger information.
