Turkish Airlines announced a partnership with Apple to introduce a baggage tracking system aimed at preventing lost luggage troubles.
The initiative is expected to enhance operational efficiency while addressing baggage-related disruptions. Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee Professor Dr. Ahmet Bolat wrote in his LinkedIn post.
Bolat highlighted the collaboration with Apple, explaining that with the release of iOS 18.2, passengers will be able to share the location of their luggage using devices equipped with AirTag or Find My technology.
By providing this data to Turkish Airlines’ teams, the company aims to swiftly locate and return baggage, further improving the travel experience.
How the system works?
Passengers can activate the feature via Apple’s Find My app by generating a “Share Location” link. This link can then be securely submitted through the airline’s website, where it is automatically deleted after seven days unless manually disabled earlier.
Turkish Airlines also plans to extend the functionality to its mobile app soon, offering greater convenience for travelers.
