In 1995 when DIA in Denver opened for business it was the biggest and most advanced airport at the time. Its shinning achievement was it automated baggage system. It was triumphed as the end all in baggage delivery from the plane to the terminal. It was computer controlled and rail driven. It would change airports forever.
Now as many of you know, it was the biggest joke on opening day. It was not working correctly. It was miss-delivering bags and chewing them up when they did reach the right place. It was abandon quickly and replaced with manual bag delivery.
Over the last ten years full portions of the system have been up and running. But it seems Untied and DIA have finally given up on the system. This month it will be shut down and the manual system will be used.
