Case Study: Board of Airline Representatives Australia achieves safer, more efficient baggage handling with Unisys Baggage Reconciliation System

Enhancing the traveling experience and safety of airline passengers

The Board of Airline Representatives Australia (BARA), representing over 40 international airlines, faced the challenge of ensuring passengers and baggage traveled together to comply with the Aviation Security Act’s “Triple A” regulations across seven major Australian airports. To address this, they partnered with Unisys for a solution.

Unisys implemented a cloud-based Baggage Reconciliation System (BRS) that included managed services, handheld scanners, and 24/7 support. This solution from Unisys improved security and operational efficiency, significantly reducing lost and mishandled baggage. It also provided real-time visibility into baggage outcomes, ensured regulatory compliance, and offered the IT scalability to handle increased passenger volumes.
