Toronto Pearson, which handled 41 million passengers last year, has installed the self-service bag drop solution as part of its facility improvement initiative.

The solution simplifies the luggage check-in process at the airport by providing several ways for passengers to drop off baggage.

Instead of standing in a queue, passengers can print or download their travel documents, or use their mobile device and then move directly to the baggage drop-off area after arriving at the airport.

"The solution simplifies the luggage check-in process at the airport by providing several ways for passengers to drop off baggage."

Toronto Pearson said that the recently concluded facility improvement initiative is part of a project that aims to improve the way passengers check in with their airlines and access security screening.
