We can only imagine how traumatising all the passengers travelling on that flight might have felt after realising that they were at their destination but their bags did not even leave Delhi. According to the X post by Rajesh Kumar, flight SG8841 took off from Delhi on April 17 and was bound for Bagdogra. It departed at 12:30 PM from Terminal 3 of Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, according to a report by NDTV. After landing at the airport in West Bengal, they heard shocking updates about their luggage.
The X user shared how SpiceJet “lost and misplaced” the luggage of the passengers. Indeed it was a trouble for every passenger travelling on that flight. The horrible episode grabbed Netizens’ attention after Rajesh Kumar highlighted this major issue on X. He also shared a picture and it clearly shows all the frustrated flyers trying to have a conversation about the miserable incident. Mr. Kumar shared how the staff at the Bagdogra airport had no response.
The Airline Responded To The Recent Matter
A SpiceJet spokesperson replied to the incident at the Bagdogra airport faced by passengers on the Delhi-Bagdogra flight. According to the statement, the reason for all these was the aircraft facing payload restrictions. These restrictions were because of operational reasons. This was why they had to offload some luggage from the flight. The spokesperson further added that all the offloaded luggage will be sent through the next flights.
Airlines tend to make similar decisions when aircraft face payload restrictions. To operate smoothly and ensure safe departure and landing, staff offloads baggage while coming across these issues.
