Managing, processing and tracking the movement of baggage is crucial for the effective running of any airport. Buro Happold is able to develop solutions from the simplest baggage handling systems to the most complex. Our expertise ranges from new start up operations at former military and private airfields, public/private sector transitions to major international projects.

Our designers assess and model the whole baggage handling process in order to integrate it with passenger and aircraft movements, ensuring the right technological solution is developed. This enables us to match the requirements to the available technology, from simple solutions such as manual check in and sortation carousels, to complex automated check in, sortation and distribution systems. Our team will also integrate the most cutting edge security screening technologies into the design, allowing for current requirements and procedures. We take a holistic approach, assessing the needs of each project and delivering solutions that are both successful and cost effective.
