Signal name: Baggage Belt Congestion Signal

On 2026-05-23, baggage operations observed baggage belt occupancy above planned
capacity for Terminal 2 belts B14 and B15 between 18:20 and 19:05.

The signal source is baggage belt event data from the Airport Operations
Performance Data Product, cross-checked with passenger arrival load bands. The
signal strength is medium because two high-load inbound flights arrived within
12 minutes of each other. The confidence level is medium because one belt sensor
reported intermittent status updates.

The signal is relevant to Flight Delay Risk Monitoring when delayed baggage
unloading affects aircraft turnaround. It also provides context for Passenger
Connection Protection when transfer bags are at risk of missing outbound loading
cutoff times.

Recommended action: baggage operations should assign one additional ramp team to
Terminal 2 belts B14 and B15, review transfer bag cutoff risk, and notify
turnaround supervisors for flights sharing the affected handling agent.
