Qatar Airways rolls out reusable NFC bag tags

Passengers travelling on flights operated by Qatar Airways can now transfer their flight details to a reusable electronic bag tag attached to luggage they have checked in via the airline’s mobile app by tapping their NFC smartphone on the device, NFCW reports.

The reusable electronic device with functional e-paper can be easily prepared and attached to baggage by travellers at home, Netherlands-based technology provider Bagtag explains.

After checking in for their flight via the Qatar Airways mobile app, passengers can proceed with digitally labelling their bags.

Qatar Airways is the first airline in the Middle East to introduce the NFC bag tags.
