Air India passengers hit by baggage woes

Ahmedabad: It seems that problems are here to stay for Air India flyers arriving at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. As if flight delays were not a problem enough, harried passengers of Air India can now be seen inquiring about the luggage too.
The national carrier started two new flights, Delhi-Ahmedabad and Mumbai-Ahmedabad as a part of their winter schedule on November 1. But both the flights have only left the passengers worried and agitated.
While passengers coming from Delhi are plagued by frequent flight delays because AI has shifted its domestic operations to Terminal 3 of the Delhi airport, passengers coming from Mumbai could not find their baggage when they landed at Ahmedabad.
Nearly 50 US passengers who boarded the AI flight from Mumbai did not receive their baggage as it was not collected from Mumbai airport on Friday. According to airport sources, passengers have been facing this problem right since the day the flight was introduced.
Mirror spoke to a few passengers who landed in the city on Friday night but received their baggage only on Saturday afternoon.
