Six more airlines have confirmed support for Apple’s AirTag tracking feature for lost luggage, allowing passengers to share the location of missing bags with airlines to help locate and retrieve them more efficiently.
Apple first announced this initiative last year, partnering with airlines to integrate Find My item locations into their customer service systems. The iPhone maker has developed a system that enables airlines to track AirTags associated with lost luggage, improving the recovery process for mishandled or delayed bags.
With the addition of six new airlines, the total number of supported carriers has now increased to 15. The full list includes Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Eurowings, Iberia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Turkish Airlines, United, Virgin Atlantic, and Vueling.
Apple’s Find My network is a crowdsourced system consisting of over one billion Apple devices that use Bluetooth to detect and report the approximate location of missing items. The entire process is end-to-end encrypted and anonymous, ensuring that no one—including Apple or third-party accessory manufacturers—can access a device’s location or user information.
