Collaboration with MAHB Langkawi on Baggage Handling System Procedures

Kedah, July 2025 – Collaboration with MAHB Langkawi on Baggage Handling System Procedures

A courtesy visit was made to the Manager of Langkawi International Airport, followed by a site tour to review the airport’s baggage handling system. The visit aimed to explore best practices that can be adapted for implementation at Kuala Kedah Jetty.

The session focused on gaining insights into workflow management, equipment utilization, and coordination processes, particularly in handling different categories of baggage. The observations highlighted distinct procedures for regular baggage, oversized items, and special categories such as sports equipment. Each category involved tailored processes in labeling, security screening, and either manual or automated transfer.

Through this engagement, Kuala Kedah Jetty is setting a target to achieve an On-Time Performance (OTP) of 15 minutes from baggage drop-off to vessel loading. The insights gathered will serve as a key reference in developing a more efficient and effective terminal management framework moving forward.
