Passengers may be allowed to check in and drop off their own luggage at airports.
The Russian Ministry of Transport, together with airlines, is considering this possibility following a letter from the industry association.
Airline passengers may be able to check in and check in their baggage themselves, RIA Novosti reports.
The International Airports Association has approached the Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit with a similar initiative.
The MAA letter mentions that Russian airports are studying the possibility of installing automated baggage check-in systems.
The use of electronic baggage tags is envisaged, which will allow passengers to check in their baggage without the assistance of staff.
This innovation could optimize the work of airports by reducing queues at check-in counters.
The Ministry of Transport emphasized that the letter is currently being reviewed jointly with airlines.
