Mastering disruption management

The latest SITA Baggage IT Insights Report shows how mishandling rates dropped to 6.3 per 1,000 passengers in 2024. Yet, mishandled bags still cost the industry an average of US$5 billion annually.

Thus, while core operations improve, scalable automation is no longer optional for tackling the remaining financial burden of disruptions.

While SITA Bag Manager optimizes daily operations, SITA Auto Reflight handles those critical moments when plans go astray.
