I’m sorry, how could this possibly cost NINE FIGURES? And it only has a 20 year lifespan? That’s a $7mm/year cost just for the equipment to move suitcases around in a relatively small airport?
Based on 20 years of service and an average of 11 million annual passengers over that span (220 million passengers) the system costs roughly 64 cents per passenger in 2025 dollars.
I’m always surprised at how long it takes to get baggage after arriving on a United flight.
