Unusual: Why did passengers on a Swiss flight arrive at their destination without any luggage?

They thought their luggage traveled with them as it would on any flight. But a surprise upon the arrival of the passengers of the Swiss flight from Zurich to Bilbao. After more than two hours of waiting for their luggage in front of the conveyor belt, employees from another company, the Spanish company Iberia, informed them that the plane had landed without any luggage on board. Says the newspaper Occidental de France.

Information confirmed by a spokesman for the Swiss company, Kavin Ambalam, who said that the plane, which operates for Edelweiss, took off with 111 passengers on board but no luggage in its hold.

“Shortage of ground staff”

And the reason mentioned by the spokesman to Agence France-Presse? “Lack of ground personnel.” The crew initially expected the situation to resolve on its own, but that was not the case. “For operational reasons, we decided to make the trip to Bilbao without luggage,” he told AFP. The company had to pick up other passengers in Spain and return the plane to Zurich before the airport closed for the night. He concluded by saying, “We regret the inconvenience caused.”

“Wasted” vacation.

According to Blake daily newspaperThe pilot indicated that the reason for the delay was a “lack of qualified personnel.” However, she never said a word about the lack of baggage on the plane. When questioned by Blake, an annoyed passenger testified: “I find it simply disgraceful to ruin people’s holidays in this way on purpose. This lack of transmission must have been knowingly set in.”
