UK airports have started a new campaign with the British airport advertising specialist Eye Airports that will help retrieve passengers’ lost baggage with the help of a credit card-sized tag.
Unlike regular airline tags which are subject to wear and tear, the Trace Me luggage tracker claims to provide permanent record of passengers’ baggage which helps in protection.

Each tag has a unique serial number which is recorded on a secure database and integrated within SITA WorldTracer’s Bag Management System which is used by over 90% of the world’s airlines and over 2,000 airports across the world.
When a bag does not show up, the serial number on the tag is identified and recorded by the baggage handling staff and entered into the airline’s baggage IT system, which then sends Trace Me an immediate request for the identification of the owner.
The personal data of passengers, however, is not displayed in order to protect travellers’ security.
Eye Airports business development director Tim Hufford said: "This campaign showcases a product which is highly relevant to our audience and we are proud to bring this innovative brand to the airport environment.
