Visby Airport in Sweden has introduced a new fully integrated bag drop system to make journeys more comfortable.

Flyers departing from the airport need to complete the check-in process and take a print-out of a bag tag at a separate automated check-in kiosk. After that they can drop-off their luggage at the automated bag drop system.

Visby Airport operator Swedavia is providing self-service concepts in a bid to make air travel hassle-free for flyers through lesser congestion queues at the airport.

As part of its sustainability goals, Swedavia is also targeting to make all ten airports under its watch to be fossil-free by 2020.

Visby Airport achieved this target in June 2018, becoming the second Swedavia airport to reach the target after Ronneby Airport.
