An aircraft luggage carrier provided with a tarpaulin cover retractable by way of a roller assembly is used to transport luggage from airport terminals to aircraft loading areas. The luggage carrier, in the form of an open-ended box-shaped container mounted on wheels and adapted to be hitched to a motor vehicle, comprises a floor, a pair of short longitudinal vertical side walls, and a pair of higher vertical end walls. The roller assembly for the retractable cover is secured to one of the end walls and the retractable cover is mounted at one end thereof to a spring-loaded rotatable drum of the roller assembly. The opposite end of the retractable cover is provided with handles such as to allow the cover to be unwound from the roller assembly and secured to the end wall located opposite the end wall carrying the roller assembly. The retractable cover comprises a central section adapted to extend horizontally between the upper edges of the end walls and a pair of foldable side flaps which, when the cover is in its extended position, can be lowered along the sides of the carrier and secured to the side walls such as to define a closed chamber for efficiently containing the luggage. As the longitudinal side walls are shorter than the end walls, the side flaps are required to close the rectangular openings defined above the upper edges of the side walls and below the horizontally extending central section of the cover.
