San Francisco- Bengaluru Air India flight lands without luggage; airline cites safety reasons
New Indian ExpressBENGALURU: Passengers arriving groggily at Kempegowda International Airport around 3:20 am on Air India’s direct flight from San Francisco were met with a shock. At the AI counter, we found other passengers also inquiring about their luggage, and only then did we learn it hadn’t been loaded onto the flight.” There were arguments at the counter, with one woman refusing to leave the airport without her luggage, she added. She’s resting now but has been assured by the airline that her luggage will be sent on the next flight from San Francisco.” An airline source explained, “We did not forget the luggage. The baggage will be sent later.” Last month, the Aviation Ministry issued a show-cause notice to Air India for a 20-hour delay on a Delhi to San Francisco flight, where passengers were seated without air conditioning.
