Company mission

To create delightful bag-free air travel experiences by integrating innovative technologies with global partnerships and contributing to more sustainable transport systems.

Our take

Travelling with checked baggage is a frequent aspect of air travel, but it can often become burdensome. While the additional storage capacity is helpful, passengers often find themselves spending more time queuing at departure and arrival gates. However, airports are now introducing innovative methods for passengers to bypass this inconvenience by providing alternative bag drop-off options.

Airportr, a digital platform, offers an alternative solution for baggage-related challenges, allowing passengers to have their bags collected from their home, hotel, or office usually a day prior to their flight. This means that on the day of travel, they can skip the bag drop-off process and proceed directly to security, saving valuable time.

With the company's ongoing success and as travelling through airports with baggage is increasingly seen as outdated, Airportr is expected to scale its product into more territories globally. Powered by strategic partnerships with numerous major airlines and airports, its services are expected to become available on a growing selection of airline routes in the months and years to come.
