Air India has launched a new solution that allows passengers to trace their bags using the state-of-the-art Apple AirTag technology. Air India is adding Apple AirTags to checked baggage so that customers can locate their luggage in real-time using the Find My app on Apple devices. The introduction will improve passenger satisfaction by making it an efficient and effective solution for finding missing or delayed baggage, giving them peace of mind with a frustrating problem that exists when traveling.
The AirTags operate by sending signals that are detected by surrounding Apple devices, which then send the location to the owner’s Find My app. The system is extremely useful for Air India passengers since it provides smooth tracking ability. Through this new feature, travelers will be able to easily track the movement of their bags, so they remain informed about its location while traveling.
The technology, however, has some drawbacks for Android users. While Android phones are able to locate unknown AirTags, they are unable to track the luggage in real time like Apple users can. This means that while Android users will receive a notification if an AirTag is around them, they will not have the complete tracking functionality provided to Apple device owners.
Regardless of this restriction, the launch of AirTags is a step in the right direction towards enhancing luggage handling and customer care. It provides a degree of transparency and security that can largely eliminate the anxiety usually linked with misplaced luggage, creating a technology-oriented solution for contemporary air travel.
