Berlin Brandenburg Airport

The planned baggage handling system with conveyor belts and sorting machines was described as not innovative by various parties. Why not implement a modern tray system for the new airport in the German capital? Because a high sorting capacity was required, and because a high speed system was not required due to the short distances.

If we achieve innovative baggage flow and efficient operation with the most suitable technology for the specified requirements, then we don't mind being called old-fashioned.
