According to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, the new service has been installed at the airport's luggage-handling section and provides passengers with updates after baggage is unloaded from an aircraft and transported towards the baggage claim area.
Officials said the system is expected to help travelers better understand the status of their luggage and estimate how long it will take before bags arrive on the conveyor belt.
