The size of 55 x 35 x 20 cm is being contemplated – this would mean that meant that theoretically all the passengers would get a chance to store their carry-on bags on board aircraft of 120 seats or larger.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 10 June 2015.
The problem has grown because many airlines have started to charge for bags in the hold and this has, in turn, caused frustration on flights around the world because the size of carry-on bags is increasing.
In order to standardize the size, IATA is working with baggage tracking solutions provider Okoban. Each bag of approved size would carry a special joint label that would feature the logos of IATA and Okoban – this would imply to all concerned that the bag complies with the optimum size guidelines.
