It will support check-in, arrival, transfer, and oversized baggage handling. ICS Independent Carrier System tracks every bag in real time throughout the process.

Automated storage facilities and self-service baggage drop channels will also be installed. Integrated with a digital twin management platform, the system will provide end-to-end visibility into baggage movements and equipment operations, improving efficiency and reliability while enhancing the passenger experience. Construction work spans multiple floors of the future Terminal 3 building, posing significant coordination and logistics challenges. The project team has divided the work into 14 zones and is using Building Information Modeling technology to optimize the design and avoid potential conflicts.
