Baggage
A new automated system for baggage handling is installed at National Airport Minsk. A computer system for automatic sorting of baggage with the help of baggage tags for a particular flight considerably improves the entire technological process of baggage loading on the aircraft, virtually eliminating the cases of its loss or the need to rush it due to the late loading.
During baggage check in it is forbidden to place the following things on conveyor belt:
- items that can slide: tubes, balls, round bags;
- too soft or unsteady items, such as plastic bags;
- fragile items: electronic equipment, glass;
- animals;
- metal trolleys for bags;
- bags with long, free-hanging straps (long straps should be removed, and the handles fastened together).
There shouldn’t be any tags or bar codes on your baggage from previous flights.
For a convenient transportation, you may use baggage trolleys for FREE.
Storage rooms of RUE “National Airport Minsk” are on the underground floor at gate 6 of the airport terminal. Before luggage receiving for storage it must be subjected security inspection. The security staff call button is indicated on the diagram.
