Explanation:
Valable chez Air Canada en tout cas, et plus court que 'les bagages transbordés d'un aéronef à un autre'.

First off, confirmation of gut feelings:
"In some jurisdictions, certain categories of transfer bag can be unloaded from an inbound flight and taken directly to the connecting flight without the need for screening. This operation is known as a TAIL-TO-TAIL TRANSFER and can support a very short minimum connection time."

"TAIL-TO-TAIL or FIN-TO-FIN - the transfer of baggage, freight and mail from aircraft to aircraft without an intermediate point."

In case anyone is wondering, 'PE' in the photos below is "préposé d'escale", aka "agent de piste", which OQLF calls "station attendant".
