He repairs your bags at the airport... A Roissy, "SOS Baggage" is a great success ... This service actually repairs your bags in minutes whether you are a passenger or part of the cabin crew ! A concept that is beginning to export well. He had the idea before anyone else ! That of repairing luggage damaged in travel directly at the airport. This young entrepreneur Parisian suburbanite moved to RoissyPôle in the heart of Charles de Gaulle airport 18 months ago, and since then, his company SOS BAGGAGE has become a hit, especially with flight attendants ! BARKA Mehdi , Director SOS BAGGAGE : "I based my business plan on private individuals. I told myself that it was they who found their luggage damaged at, or between, airports. But I discovered that there were also cabin staff, who solicited my services, because their baggage was often damaged. Logically, because they are, in part, the tools of their trade !" And it’s a real gold mine ! Today, he receives work from fifteen companies. Every day in his workshop, he examines around fifty separate pieces of luggage! BARKA Mehdi , Director SOS BAGGAGE : "The wheels are worn : due to the rubbing of the conveyor belt - you know, when the case is on the baggage carousel, the wheels rub on the walls causing friction which burns the wheels like this one." Cost of the operation is around forty euros, paid either by the company or by the manufacturer, if the product is still under guarantee or warranty. Within minutes, Mikael has repaired the suitcase, and the service suits the needs of his client. Mikaël Nandrot , Co-Pilot - Air France : "I really would like the case for my next flight, because I need it to work. It's a big one because I work on long-haul’s requiring several days of travelling so need a lot of space. My back-up case wasn’t not large enough for my next flight." "I’ve cleaned up the wheels because they were quite dirty." After Roissy, Mehdi will soon install his service at Orly, then at and Lyon airports, thanks to the company Gulf Emirates. Both Nice airport that at Doha in Qatar have also contacted him. "To protect our know-how, which is logical, in view of the fact that the idea is exporting well, we’ve filed a patent with the INPI ( French National Institute of Intellectual Property) based on our know -how, processes and above all our brand name." Having recently conquered Air France, the young 30 year-old entrepreneur and his 10 employees thinking big : they envisage implementing their luggage repair business model worldwide.
