WHAT DOES BAGGAGE HANDLING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

baggage handling

Baggage handling system

A baggage handling system is a type of conveyor system installed in airports that transports checked luggage from ticket counters to areas where the bags can be loaded onto airplanes. A BHS also transports checked baggage coming from airplanes to baggage claims or to an area where the bag can be loaded onto another airplane. Although the primary function of a BHS is the transportation of bags, a typical BHS will serve other functions involved in making sure that a bag gets to the correct location in the airport. The process of identifying a bag, and the information associated with it, to make a decision on where the bag should be directed within the system is known as sortation. In addition to sortation, a BHS may also perform the following functions: ▪ Detection of bag jams ▪ Volume regulation ▪ Load balancing ▪ Bag counting ▪ Bag tracking ▪ Redirection of bags via pusher or diverter There is an entire process that the BHS controls.
