Icelandair to roll out reusable NFC bag tags

Icelandair’s aircrew will soon be able to transfer their flight details to a reusable electronic bag tag attached to their luggage by tapping their NFC smartphone on the device. Once they have updated the relevant flight and baggage details in the airline’s crew app and transferred them to the programmable batteryless bag tag, crew members can check in without needing to print a paper tag and attach it to their bags.

The electronic tags prominently display all relevant baggage information, including crew details, flight information and bag identification, ensuring a seamless and streamlined experience for the airline’s crew.

This technology allows Icelandair’s crew members to streamline check-in procedures, eliminate paper waste and optimize the overall crew travel experience. Icelandair is the first airline to introduce this contactless baggage check-in technology for its crew members.
