Abstract
A carry-on luggage system (450) for an airport includes a carry-on interface station (453). A carry-on transport module (452) is disposed and accessible within the carry-on interface station (453) and includes multiple stowage units (467) for carry-on items. A transport mechanism (451) transports the carry-on transport module (452) between the airport interface terminal (14) and an aircraft. A method of loading and unloading carry-on items on and off an aircraft includes providing access to a stowage unit (467). The stowage unit (467) is on a carry-on transport module (452) at a carry-on interface station (453). Access to the stowage unit (467) allows for placement of at least one carry-on item therein. The carry-on transport module (452) is transported between the carry-on interface station (453) and an aircraft.
