2008 Meetings
Discuss ongoing Baggage Working Group activities at the BWG 20, from April 2nd through April 3rd in Geneva. RFID Oversight will also be held in Geneva from March 31st - April 1st .
Baggage Working Group
IATA Baggage Working Group (BWG) is established by the Airport Services Committee (ASC) to review and develop recommendations into a form that can be adopted by the ASC and eventually the Passenger Services Conference (PSC) as recommended practices or resolutions.
The majority of these changes occur from examination of RP1745, RP 1800 and other related Recommended Practices such as RP 1740C that addresses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and its technological requirements.
The BWG is open to all IATA member airlines, ATA member airlines, ACI (Airports) members and the participants in the IATA Strategic Partnership Program with an interest in Baggage Management and related issues.
Baggage Transfer Message (BTM) Contact list
At a 2002 BWG meeting, it was agreed that a Contact List to update BTM (mandatory message) addresses should be made available to all BWG members. You will find the latest BTM Contact List on the BWG private site. If you are already a member of the private site, please login here. If you wish to request an access, please click here. For corrections and updates, please contact IATA BWG.
IATA Member Airlines have to maintain an updated a list of the addresses to load their tables, thus ensuring they meet the mandate. Failing to comply might result in receiving an IATA Standards Irregularity Notice.
