Zurich Airport has integrated an automated baggage handling system to streamline the baggage drop process using 20 self-service kiosks, according to a press release.

The bag drops resemble regular counters where the baggage is placed on the belt from the front.

The first airlines to make the technology available to their passengers are Swiss, Edelweiss, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines.

"This increases flexibility in the check-in process and enhances passenger convenience by providing additional bag drop points," Roman Jung, project manager self bag drop, Flughafen Zürich AG, said in the press release.
