<p>An airport baggage reclaim system comprises passenger arrival verification means (14), e.g. a scanner for a passport or a boarding card, for extracting identification information associated with a passenger, thereby verifying the arrival of the passenger; flight identification means, responsive to receipt of the identification information associated with the passenger, for identifying the flight on which the passenger has arrived; and means for triggering the delivery of baggage for the identified flight in response to the arrival of one or more passengers from the identified flight as verified by the passenger arrival verification means. The items of baggage from a particular flight may be delivered to a baggage reclaim hall (16) after verification of the arrival of a predetermined number of passengers from the flight. Alternatively, the baggage may be temporarily stored in an arrival baggage store (24) and delivered to passengers individually on verification of passengers' identity in the baggage reclaim hall (16)</p> |
