G-1 Industry Stakeholder Feedback Industry stakeholder feedback for six of the alternative procedures was sought during a peer review session in January 2011. The group consisted of nine airline, airport, and aviation asso- ciation representatives. Six of the seven alternative procedures were presented to the group and discussed. Participants were asked to consider and quantitatively rate each alternative as well as to provide qualitative pros and cons from their respective industry points of views. Tables G-1 and G-2 summarize the written responses received from stakeholders. Alternative Procedure 7 (door-to-door baggage service) was not reviewed by the industry stakeholder session in January 2011 as it did not directly affect airport-specific processes.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 61: Elimination or Reduction of Baggage Recheck for Arriving International Passengers identifies potential alternative procedures that might be implemented to help reduce or eliminate the need for the recheck of baggage for arriving international passengers at U.S. airports.

The report describes the potential benefits and costs to airports, airlines, and federal agencies related to adopting the procedures and also compares the alternative procedures with current practices.
