Lost items matched to a report

Airlines, airports and ground handlers already run reservation and departure control systems, baggage tracing tools, contact centre platforms and operations dashboards. What is usually missing is the workflow between them: passengers chasing updates by phone, delayed bags tracked through email chains, and lost property sitting in a back office. I build AI assistants and automations for passenger service, baggage and lost-and-found, and daily operations summaries. AI never makes safety or maintenance-release decisions, and your team approves anything that needs a human eye.

Free disruption & baggage workflow audit

Send me a recent export of delays, bag reports or passenger enquiries (no passenger names needed). I show you where passengers chase updates, where agents lose time, and the three fixes to start with.

  • Enquiry volumes and response times by topic
  • Delayed bag cases and how often passengers chase
  • Disruption messages: how long they take to go out
  • A simple 30-day action plan

    Simulation with sample data. Real timing depends on your volumes, systems and team.

    Stage 01

    Passenger service

    Routine questions answered at any hour, in the passenger's language.

    Passenger service assistant

    Questions about baggage allowance, check-in times, travel documents and booking changes are answered on chat and your website from your own published guidance. Special assistance and anything about an individual passenger's case goes straight to an agent.

    Simulate this for my business →
    Stage 02

    Disruption & claims

    Clear updates during delays and claims answered without a backlog.

    Disruption update drafts

    When a flight is delayed or cancelled, a clear update is drafted from your own operational data and policies, with connections at risk and voucher rules flagged. A duty agent approves every message before it goes to passengers.

    Simulate this for my business →

    Compensation claim drafts

    Each claim is matched to the booking and flight record, documents are checked and a reply is drafted under your policy. Agents review and decide every claim. Nothing is sent or paid automatically.

    Simulate this for my business →
    Stage 03

    Baggage & lost property

    Passengers kept informed and lost items sent home.

    Delayed bag updates

    Delayed bag reports are logged from chat with photos and tag numbers. Every traced bag gets a daily update to the passenger, so they stop calling, and your baggage team handles only the exceptions.

    Simulate this for my business →

    Lost-and-found matching

    Lost item reports are matched with found items by description, place and photo. Staff confirm each match, then the return or courier is arranged and the passenger is told.

    Stage 04

    Operations insights

    The day's picture in one short message, before the first wave.

    Daily operations briefing

    Every morning, managers receive a short summary of yesterday's on-time performance, delay causes by station, open baggage cases and complaints. It informs people. Operations control makes every decision.

    FAQ

    Questions I get asked

    Something else on your mind? Ask me on a short call.

    Will this work with the systems we already use?

    Yes. I build on top of your reservation, departure control and baggage systems, for example Amadeus, Sabre or Navitaire, plus baggage tracing tools such as WorldTracer and your contact centre platform. Where a system has an API or integration, I connect to it directly. Where it does not, we use exports, shared inboxes or forms. Your core systems stay as they are.

    Does AI make safety or maintenance decisions?

    No. AI never makes safety, airworthiness or maintenance-release decisions, and it does not change operational plans on its own. It can summarise records, search manuals and draft reports, but certifying staff, operations control and your safety teams make every decision. Workflows are scoped with your safety and compliance teams and kept outside safety-critical systems.

    Could the assistant give passengers wrong information during disruption?

    Disruption messages are drafted from your own operational data and policies, and they run in "draft for approval" mode, so a duty agent checks them before they go out. Routine answers, like baggage allowance, can be automatic. Anything about compensation, safety or an individual passenger's case is handed to a person.

    How do you handle passenger data and security?

    Passenger records are personal data, and some, such as special assistance needs, are sensitive. Before building, we settle what the AI can access, where data is stored and processed, including data residency, and how long it is kept, in line with UK GDPR, the UAE's PDPL or other rules where you operate. Passport and payment details are never passed to the AI, and access is logged.

    Do I need to be technical?

    No. I set everything up, connect the systems and show your team how it works. Day to day, agents approve drafts, pick up handed-over cases and read the morning briefing, all from tools they already use. If something needs changing, like a new baggage policy or route, you tell me in plain language and I update it.

    How long does it take, and what does it cost?

    It depends on your tools, the size of your operation and the use cases you start with. A first workflow, such as delayed bag updates or a passenger assistant, can often be running within a few weeks. A short call gives you a clear scope, timeline and price for the first step, so you know what you are getting before any work starts.
