PUTRAJAYA: The use of smart baggage or ‘scooters’ has been banned as a mode of transportation on airport aprons by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM).
Its chief executive officer Datuk Capt Norazman Mahmud, in a safety directive dated Nov 15, said while rideable smart baggage offers convenience to passengers, its use in restricted areas such as the apron poses significant safety risks.He said the apron is a complex environment with heavy machinery, moving aircraft, ground service vehicles and personnel, thus requiring strict adherence to safety regulations to prevent mishaps and potential equipment damage.
