Here are all the airlines that support the new AirTags feature in iOS 18.2

In iOS 18.2, Apple has enhanced AirTags with a new feature called Share Item Location. This feature allows you to share the location of a lost AirTag or Find My network accessory with a trusted third party.

As part of the rollout of Share Item Location, Apple is teaming up with airlines around the world. Here are all the airlines that support this new feature.

How to Share an AirTag Location with an Airline

As we’ve covered before, the Share Item Location feature allows you to create a link to the location of a lost AirTag or other Find My network accessory. This link allows a third party to view the location of your lost item to help you find it. The link will show the item’s location on an interactive map that automatically updates as the location changes. There’s also a timestamp that shows the last update.

To create a Share Item Location link, you just need to go to the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Here are all the airlines that have implemented support for accepting location links from the Find My app:

  • United
  • Delta
  • British Airways
  • Lufthansa
  • Air Canada
  • Air New Zealand
  • Turkish Airlines
  • Aer Lingus
  • Austrian Airlines
  • Brussels Airlines
  • Swiss
  • Eurowings
  • Iberia Airlines

This means that if you fly one of these airlines and your bag with an AirTag is lost or misplaced, you can share the location of that AirTag to help the airline find it.

For example, United travelers can file a delayed bag report in the United app and attach a Find My link to that report. Once that link is shared, United customer service agents can use it to help track down your lost bag more quickly.

Apple also touts several privacy protections that have been implemented with this new Share Item Location feature for AirTags:

  • Location sharing automatically stops when the customer is reunited with their bag.
  • A user can stop sharing their location at any time.
  • The link automatically expires after 7 days.
  • The entire process is fully encrypted and anonymous. This means that no one, including Apple or accessory makers, can access the location of the product.

This is another new feature that makes AirTags a must-have product when traveling.
