13/10 - Baggge Handling at Mega Hubs

When airports grow into mega-hubs, passenger volumes rise, baggage flows intensify, and system reliability becomes critical. These environments demand solutions that not only move baggage efficiently but also scale seamlessly as capacity expands.

That’s where spiral conveyors come in. Unlike traditional inclined belts or lifts, spirals offer:

Continuous high-throughput – no stop-and-go, smooth baggage flow.
Compact footprint – vertical movement without eating into valuable floor space.
Proven reliability – fewer moving parts and low maintenance requirements.
Scalability – designed to handle the peaks and volumes of the world’s busiest terminals.
 

At AmbaFlex, we’ve seen how spirals make the difference between bottlenecks and flow in some of the highest-capacity baggage systems worldwide. The lesson is clear: when it comes to mega-hubs, the right conveyor technology doesn’t just transport bags—it keeps the whole terminal moving.

Curious how spirals can strengthen your baggage handling design? Let’s talk.
