Moroccan Airports announced on Friday, October 23rd, that Rabat-Salé Airport is now equipped with the "Self Bag Drop" system, a move aimed at gradually implementing this service across all airports in the Kingdom.
A statement from Moroccan Airports explained that, "Following the initial operation of this service in partnership with Royal Air Maroc at Casablanca Mohammed V Airport, the 'Self Bag Drop' system is entering a new phase of national adoption. This step aims to gradually generalize this technology in the Kingdom's airports, contributing to reduced waiting times, improved baggage processing, and providing travelers with greater independence."
The same source added that Rabat-Salé Airport is the first station for this generalization, where six self-service baggage drop machines were recently installed in Terminal 2 for "Ryanair" passengers. This new equipment represents a transition towards a broader deployment of this service, which is expected to bring about a sustainable transformation in baggage check-in operations at Moroccan airports.
This system is based on a simple concept: after completing check-in procedures, passengers can deposit their luggage, destined for the aircraft cargo hold, themselves through a guided and fully automated process. According to operational estimates, this technology can reduce the time taken by 50 to 75 percent.
This advancement in the travel process now covers approximately two-thirds of passenger traffic at Moroccan airports. This figure reflects the significant potential of this system to transform the travel experience and the importance of its widespread adoption across the national airport network.
The implementation of the "Self Bag Drop" system complements other initiatives launched by Moroccan Airports, particularly the gradual rollout of mobile boarding passes and the "Pax Check" passenger monitoring system. These solutions contribute to simplifying the various stages of the passenger journey, from entering the airport to boarding the aircraft, by relying on proven technologies and smoother procedures.
The statement concluded that Moroccan Airports is leveraging digitalization to enhance performance, service quality, and the experience of millions of travelers who pass through the Kingdom's airports annually.
