Launched in 2016, Dubz provides a baggage collection and delivery service that can be booked online at any time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You could soon be checking in your baggage from anywhere in the city to\u00a0travel from Dubai Airport (DXB).\u00a0That is because DXB wants to make sure that at least 25 per cent of luggage is checked in from outside the airport facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe handled 24 million bags this quarter,\u00a0so we’re going to exceed 100 million bags in Dubai this year,\u201d said Ciaran O’Sullivan, DVP Airline Services UAE Airport Operations at Dnata. \u201cIf we could have 20 per cent of them,\u00a0that is one in five bags,\u00a0to be checked in off-site here in Dubai,\u00a0the impact on customer service\u00a0experience at the airport\u00a0would be tenfold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey satisfy thousands of customers a year but we need to get scale so that we can bring the unit price down,\u201d he said. \u201cBy working with the RTA, the metro system, Dubai Airport, holiday companies, hotels and the masses, we can do a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched in 2016, Dubz provides a baggage collection and delivery service that can be booked online at any time. After being selected the winner of an aviation and travel incubator program co-founded by the Emirates Group, GE, and Dubai Tourism, the company was acquired by Dnata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to John Dyett, Vice President of Baggage Service Delivery at DXB, ensuring proper handling of baggage is of utmost importance for the airport. \u201cBaggage handling often defines a passenger’s perception of an airport,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to think what steps can airports take to minimise mishandling while enhancing speed and predictability?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that the airport handles approximately 250,000 bags every day, going up to 300,000 on busy days in the first quarter of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several airports in the world have been using AI to ensure timely delivery of baggage, Dr Heba Kurdi, research affiliate of Artificial Intelligence at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), added. \u201cThere are already some airports who are utilising semi-smart sorting systems for their baggage,\u201d she said. \u201cWe also have AI-powered simulation and digital twins that help airports to do and test operations before, like having them in real-life scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another expert at the event, Amel Chadli, president of Gulf Countries, Schneider Electric, called the vision of Dubai Airport \u201cforward thinking\u201d and something that will improve the experience of passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDubai Airport\u2019s push for off-terminal baggage check-in is a forward-thinking move that can ease terminal congestion, boost operational efficiency, and elevate the passenger journey,\u201d he said. \u201cAcross the international airports we support, we’ve seen that smart automation, energy-efficient systems, and advanced distribution management are key to streamlining ground handling and enabling a seamless travel experience.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
