The BLE advertisement packet is max 270 bytes.

AirTags send these out once per second when the owner is near, otherwise once every 2 seconds.

Assume 500 passengers on a 747, and everyone has an AirTag, and let's assume worstcase, the tags are in-range:

500 pax * 270 = 135kbyte, or 1MBit/second of radio traffic. The equivalent of 4 bluetooth headphones.

This isn't about RF. This is about luggage claims. In the EU, consumers are heavily protected against delays, canceled flights, and lost luggage.
