Incheon International Airport Company in Korea has recently rolled out a self-service bag drop developed by Type22, which allows passengers to skip the lines and drop off their bags easily, according to a press release.

In order to use the Self Bag Drop, users scan their boarding pass at the device, and attach the bag tag to their luggage. Next, they simply drop it off for the device to process and transport.

"By introducing South Korea's first Self Bag Drop service, we complete a fully automated departure process that includes self check-in, Self Bag Drop and auto immigration gates," said IIAC vice president of operation division, Seong-kag Hong. "We can strengthen our position of 'smart airport' by enhancing our operational efficiency, providing passengers a fast and unique service."
