Taipei, Oct. 19 (CNA) Taoyuan International Airport Corp. (TIAC) said Friday it will double the number of baggage drop-off kiosks to 26 by the end of the year as part of a program to modernize airport services.
The new kiosks will be installed near the No. 16 and No. 17 check-in counters at Terminal 2 of Taiwan’s main international airport, said TIAC Senior Vice President Jerry Dann (但昭璧).
The existing 13 baggage drop-off kiosks, which were introduced on Oct. 1, handle an average of 800 pieces of luggage per day, but have a capacity of 3,000 pieces, Dann said.
More passengers are using the service, which takes about two minutes compared with five minutes for manual handling, he said. [FULL STORY]
