May 31, 2018: Siemens Postal, Parcel & Airport Logistics (SPPAL) will supply a tray-based baggage handling system and powerful software for the new satellite terminal at the International Airport of Bangkok. The innovative tray technology from Siemens will allow the much-needed expansion of capacities: with a top speed of ten meters per second, the system in Bangkok will achieve a peak throughput of 10,800 pieces of baggage per hour. For the project, Siemens is working as technology leader with Thai infrastructure company Loxley, who integrates the system together with further partners. Bangkok's airport handled almost 61 million passengers in 2017, and is therefore among the top 25 airports in the world.
