A method for loading goods and passengers into an aircraft, in which every passenger is identified. Goods including at least each piece of luggage that belongs to a passenger is equipped with a transponder in which information bound associated with the identity of the passenger and, possibly, the destination of the luggage is stored. A first communicator at the luggage door of the aircraft reads the transponder on the luggage that is loaded into the aircraft. A second communicator at the passenger embarkation gate reads the transponder on the carry-on luggage in association with an electronic scanning of the passenger's ticket for boarding the aircraft. The information read from each transponder is stored in a central database together with the information from the scanned ticket, and is compared by a computer connected to the central database. In the case of a discrepancy in the information, an alarm is given.
