Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to the most countries, has entered into a partnership with Samsung, marking yet another milestone towards its digital transformation efforts aimed to enhance the travel comfort of its guests.

Beginning December 1, passengers will be able to track their baggage using Smart Tagged Baggage Service, powered by SmartThings Find, which enables faster and more efficient tracking of misplaced or delayed baggage that are equipped with Galaxy SmartTag. 

Through this collaboration, Turkish Airlines has become the first airline to implement SmartThings technologies in passenger baggage tracking worldwide. Utilizing Samsung’s technology, passengers will also be able to upload a photo of their luggage within the SmartThings Find app, helping identify their baggage more easily.

The airline also intends to extend the use of SmartThings Find beyond baggage services, integrating location-based capabilities into future passenger-focused digital solutions. 

Established in 1933, Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines has a fleet of 512 (passenger and cargo) aircraft flying to 355 worldwide destinations across 131 countries.
