What Find Hub adds to WorldTracer
SITA announced in March 2026 that Google Find Hub Share item location had been integrated into WorldTracer. That allows participating airline recovery teams to use passenger-authorised location information inside the baggage workflow.
Integration does not make every airline, airport or handler automatically compatible. Google and Android both say availability varies by airline participation, airport, region and rollout phase.
02
Create the link only after the bag is missing
Google says the option appears when the compatible tracker is not nearby. The owner generates a secure URL from the Android device connected to the tag. Anyone using the link must sign in with a Google Account, and the link can expose the item’s latest location and contact details while active.
03
A map point is a clue, not a recovery instruction
- Do not travel into restricted airport or baggage areas.
- Do not ask public social-media accounts to open the link.
- Give the PIR and timestamp with the location so staff can match it to the correct case.
- Keep screenshots only where useful; live status can change as network devices detect the tag.
04
Keep the claim separate
Tracker sharing does not submit the written expense, loss or damage claim. Keep the PIR, bag tag, receipts and delivery time, then use the airline’s separate claim process within the applicable deadline.
