"Beneath Terminals 1 and 2 is a conveyor belt network the size of seven GAA pitches Most passengers stop thinking about their luggage the moment it disappears behind the rubber flaps at check-in. What happens next - whether it makes the flight, where it goes, how it's checked and tracked - is largely a mystery. Behind the scenes at Dublin Airport, a vast, constantly moving system is working to make sure bags and passengers are reunited at the end of their journeys."
"Behind the scenes at Dublin Airport, a vast, constantly moving system is working to make sure bags and passengers are reunited at the end of their journeys."
Beneath Terminals 1 and 2 at Dublin Airport lies a conveyor-belt network the size of seven GAA pitches. Most passengers stop thinking about their luggage once it disappears behind the rubber flaps at check-in. The conveyor network continually moves, sorts and routes bags, handling checks and tracking to determine whether luggage makes its flight and where it goes. Complex logistics and automation work behind the scenes to monitor and direct baggage flows. The system's constant operation aims to reunite bags and passengers at journey end, despite much of its activity remaining unseen by travelers.
