Baggage Information Exchange (BIX)
This calculator has been developed to help airlines quantify potential cost savings from transitioning to BIX-based baggage messaging. By entering a few key operational metrics, users can simulate how adoption levels impact cost efficiency over time.
Getting Started
To generate your savings forecast, please complete the following fields:
- Forecasted Pax in 2025 (in millions): Annual passenger volume.
- Forecasted Pax growth YoY (%): Forecasted annual growth in passenger numbers.
- Average Baggage per Pax: Average number of bags per passenger. (e.g Industry benchmark is 1.417)
- Type B Messaging Fee per bag (USD): Your current cost per bag for Type B messaging.
Next, define your BIX adoption assumptions:
- Initial Adoption Rate (2025): The expected adoption level at the start of the forecast.
- Adoption Rate Increase per year (%): Anticipated annual increase in adoption.
- Year Range: Choose the forecast period (e.g., 2025–2034).
