Next month, Milan’s Malpensa Airport will begin installing an RFID system to track baggage as part of an effort to reduce the cost of baggage handling, reports RFID Journal.
According to the JOurnal, Malpensa signed a contract with Denmark’s Lyngsoe Systems to install and integrate a system in Milan that is nearly identical to one used at Hong Kong International Airport (see Airport Says Payback Is in the Bag). The Milan airport served 21.7 million passengers in 2006.
