The idea is surprisingly simple. Separate passengers from their luggage. Passengers can then choose to use the express method to transport their luggage to and from its final destination. According to Universal Express, a worldwide delivery and logistics company, this will encourage passengers to cut down on baggage and travel more securely and quickly.
Passengers have many options, including Luggage Express, a division of Universal Express, which offers luggage collection from home, hotel or business and delivery to consumers' final destination at a reasonable price. Various other companies offer similar services or have the ability to do so.
In 2005, the Transportation Security Administration spent $1.45 billion on baggage screening. The Universal Express solution offers a savings projected between $550 million and $1.2 billion. The proposal will not only decrease costs but will increase revenue, opening up cargo space for more commercial usage and lower ticket prices.
Passengers can benefit in other ways. This solution allows for faster check-ins, more on-time flights and a dependable tracking solution for passengers. It's cost effective for passengers, the airlines, and all agencies interacting with the industry and taxpayers.
