Mapping of IATA (telex) baggage data formats to ADD

The tables below define mappings from a set of IATA defined baggage related data formats to data defined in the Airport Data Dictionary. The mappings
are not complete, but represent a useful set of often used data elements.

Mapping to BagEventCode and BagEventDescription

When two or more elements are present, which indicate two distinct events, i.e. BagEventCode, the event is decided by the first matching rule in the table
below:
