Guarantee delivery of messages over a secured network

The distribution of baggage messages is critical to airline and airport operations. As a fully managed service, SITA Bag Message ensures that airports receive baggage source messages (BSMs) in a timely manner while managing the multiple connections with airline DCS systems. The opposite is also true, delivering baggage processed messages (BPMs) to airline DCS and/or baggage systems.
