In 1994, the Kansai International Airport, in Japan, is one of the most stunning that can be visited anywhere in the world. Its objective was, and is, to serve the region of the same name, where three of Japan's main cities are located: Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe.

In 2014, Kansai Airport handled 141,565 aircraft movements, with 19.35 million passengers and 723,000 tonnes of cargo. (Source: New Kanzai Int. Airport Co. Ltd.)
However, the most important and most incredible record is that since the day of its inauguration, on 4 September 1994, has not lost a single suitcase. That is to say, 21 consecutive years. This feat is due to several factors. Among them, particular notice must be given to the careful design of each of the work areas. Everything has been considered, from its initial conception, for the optimisation of ground assistance services. Let us take into account that everything, from the land it occupies, to the last detail of this enormous infrastructure, is newly built and expressly designed to house an aerodrome with all its services.
But according to the airport authorities themselves, the real secret lies in the Design and execution of careful baggage handling protocols where the criterion of traceability for any package, large or small, entrusted to the airport itself.

But none of them succeeded in not losing a single suitcase. Kansai Airport did.
And also, since 1994.
