Alstef has been selected to transform Brisbane Airport’s baggage handling system, as part of a €3 billion upgrade at the Australian hub.
The initial phase of the transformative project will focus on the airport’s domestic terminal, with new enhancements expected to be fully operational by the end of 2025. Altef will embark on a substantial overhaul of the current domestic terminal baggage handling system, encompassing automated sortation and a comprehensive upgrade of the inline checked bag security screening.
“Currently our baggage handling system consists of three different systems and they’re not talking to each other,” explained Gert-Jan de Graff, CEO of Brisbane Airport. “We’re building a new system that works for all airlines in the same way for check-in as well as reclaim of baggage. This unified baggage system represents a crucial step towards enhancing the overall travel experience at Brisbane Airport.”
To facilitate the complex planning of the upgrade, the project will be completed in phases to ensure smooth operations across the terminals and the passenger experience is maintained.
Alstef Group’s CEO, Nicolas Breton reaffirmed: “With a cumulative contract value nearing €100 million, our commitment to the success of the Brisbane Airport baggage handling upgrade remains unwavering. We are focused on delivering excellence at every step.”
