As more travelers choose to share their bag’s location when it is delayed, airlines can use that information inside their baggage systems to resolve cases faster and reduce permanent loss. To support this shift, SITA has integrated Google’s Find Hub share item location feature into WorldTracer?, the global system airlines use to find and reconcile delayed and mishandled baggage.
