How do automatic self-drop baggage machines work?

1. You will need to collect and attach their bag tags at the CUSS kiosk located at the airport.
2. The bags are then placed on a Self-Baggage Drop (SBD) conveyor belt.
3. The system will open the airline’s application on the SBD machine with a single click.
4. Air travellers will have to sign a self-declaration form.
5. The self-baggage drop system will check all the necessary criteria and commercial rules given by the airlines.
6. As soon as the verification is completed, the passenger’s luggage will be processed automatically.
7. This is a one-step process where the need for boarding pass or biometric validation is eliminated as these details are already available on the baggage tag.
