IATA Resolution 753: RFID Baggage Tracking

The resolution expresses concern over the limitations of barcode-only infrastructure for baggage tracking given anticipated growth in air travel. It acknowledges the need for advanced airport infrastructure and airline systems to support baggage tracking using RFID as required by IATA Resolution 753. The resolution recommends that airports and airlines cooperate to develop cost-effective RFID solutions for baggage tracking, and that airlines and airports implement RFID technology and use the tracking data to reduce baggage mishandling.

RESOLUTION ON RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION

(RFID) IN BAGGAGE
EXPRESSING CONCERN that the continued use of barcode only infrastructure in the baggage
environment presents a restriction to the anticipated 2X passenger and baggage growth in the next
decade;

NOTING the provision of baggage tracking as a key component of baggage operations ensuring that it
is possible for airlines to proactively handle baggage;

NOTING that the IATA Passenger Services Conference Resolution 753 requiring baggage tracking
became effective in June 2018;

UNDERSTANDING that there is a need for the development and deployment of advanced, functional
and efficient airport infrastructure to support the collection of baggage tracking data;

UNDERSTANDING that there is a need for the development of airline systems for the processing of
baggage tracking data;

ACKNOWLEDGING that there is a need to have both airports and airlines aligned in the deployment of
the infrastructure for baggage tracking;

ACKNOWLEDGING that a common standard is needed across the industry to ensure that all airlines
have an equal opportunity to collect baggage tracking information;

ACKNOWLEDGING that airlines may implement such other technologies in their operations as needed
to support baggage operations in addition to RFID for baggage tracking;

ACKNOWLEDGING that there is a need to investigate and pursue environmental techniques that
minimize the waste produced using both traditional and RFID enabled baggage labels;

The 75th IATA Annual General Meeting:

1. RECOMMENDS that airlines and airports cooperate to develop the most cost-effective solutions
for baggage tracking data;

2. RECOMMENDS airports to rapidly incorporate the use of RFID, in addition to other equivalent
technologies as needed, into their airport infrastructure for the handling of baggage and
associated processes;

3. RECOMMENDS that airlines adopt the use of RFID inlays conformant with IATA standards in
their baggage labels;

4. RECOMMENDS that airlines make use of the tracking data to proactively identify baggage that
may be mishandled and enact processes with airports and ground handlers that prevent such
mishandling;

5. URGES the ground handling community to make use of RFID technology to replace manual
tracking operations wherever feasible;

RECOMMENDS that airports, airlines and ground handlers commence to implement modern
baggage messaging using IATA standards.
