A319 Baggage-Containerisation

Quote from Hand Solo:
...the A319s have the containerised cargo systems embodied but they have not been utilised to date.

Thanks for that, but am surprised. Have they been retrofitted? They didn't have it when they arrived from Hamburg, starting in the late 1990s. But what you say certainly makes sense in the context of T5.

If they are only starting to use it now, in the pressured environment of a new terminal, I confidently predict a rash of tech delays caused by damage to A319 wing-flap boat-fairings...
