Episode #3: Baggage Alerting Tool with Maximilian Hoffmann
February 2024 (11:01 Min.)
In the 3rd Innovation Podcast, we invited Maximilian Hoffmann, Senior Manager Ops Performance at the Lufthansa Group, from the "Baggage Alerting Tool" team, who won the "Best Tangible Innovation" category at the Lufthansa Group Innovation Awards in November 2023 with his colleagues. The tool triggers an automatic real-time notification after the aircraft has departed, informing the arriving ground station of the number of standard baggage items and the number of urgent baggage items on board. This allows the stations to plan the necessary resources for baggage handling on the ground before the flight arrives, which ultimately benefits our customers.
