Saskatoon airport aims to make baggage claim easier
Baggage claim improvement is only one of its many goals. It also plans to expand one of its aprons, improve flight scheduling and connection times between flights, and expand certain areas to allow for better physical distancing.“I’m pleased to announce that we’re providing the airport with more than $1.7 million through our governments’ Airport Critical Infrastructure Program,” said Annie Koutrakis, parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Transport.
“We’ve added new technology in the new re-claim area to facilitate the airlines in processing those claims and that puts it on our internal IT system,” said Andrew Leeming, vice-president of operational excellence of the Saskatoon Airport Authority.Since travel restrictions have eased, more people are crowding airports and a travel advisor in Saskatoon has noticed large crowds in the baggage claim area in the past.
“Yeah, it’s a little crowded particularly at the one carousel that’s near the back and yeah, I think It’ll be good,” said Barb Crowe from Ixtapa Travel.Survey shows Canadians are changing travel plans“I think It’ll be a good change for Saskatoon, I know on busy days here it can get a little crowded and especially with COVID and social distancing kind of being a thing, it’s nice to have the space. And more seating area will be nice for the town I think,” said Connor Mcewen.
Construction is almost done in the airport’s baggage claim area with the last step being the removal of the old baggage re-claim from the middle of the room.
