It will help protect passengers’ cases from condensation when planes are flying at high altitude, the airport’s terminal and landside operations manager, Eric Frost, said.

Each piece of baggage can be wrapped in clear plastic at a cost of five euros for visitors and R30 rupees for residents.

The company involved is called Seywrap Services and is based at North East Point.
