Alstef Group has completed the installation of a new baggage handling system (BHS) at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) in Sint Maarten.
The project was overseen by World Bank, and will be a key component in supporting the airport’s continued operation as a major regional gateway.
Part of the airport’s comprehensive recovery and modernisation plan following Hurricane Irma in 2017, the new baggage handling system includes 22 check-in locations, two in-line Standard 3 CT x-ray machines, automated sortation to 3 makeup carousels and three new horizontal inbound system carousels.
Work was instigated in 2021, and has been completed in multiple segments to ensure smooth passenger interactions throughout the installation.
The system is designed to enhance operational efficiency, streamline passenger experience and provide secure and effective baggage processing throughout traveller journeys.
