A situation of utter confusion
and inconvenience was caused when bags
of thousands of passengers were allegedly misplaced due to sudden system
failure. As a result of which some of the flights were also delayed that added
to the chaos.
Among the passengers who were
stuck at the Airport were Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) Lok Sabha MP Hema Malini,
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav,
as reported by PTI. Railway Minister Piyush Goyal arrived at a function in
Mumbai hours behind its schedule as his flight from Delhi was delayed.
Power Banks and lighters
behind the confusion
The airport operator from The
GMR- led Delhi International Airport
Limited (DIAL) claimed that the inconvenience is caused due to the high number
of check-ins of dangerous items such as power-banks, lighters in the checked-in
luggage of the travelers. He also said that because the suspected baggage was
being manually traced to its owner and then the restricted items were removed
which led to the slow handling of the luggage.
He further added that the
situation was “out of control” as the rush was 30% more than the usual days
majorly because of a long holiday weekend.
The passengers expressed their
grievances over twitter. One of the tweets reads, “After being ranked as the
No.1 Airport of the world, such problems are being faced by the passengers.
Does #DelhiAirport needs a retest?” The airline also took to Twitter to
apologize for the inconvenience. Vistara
Airlines issued a statement later in the evening saying that bags of
thousands of passengers could not be loaded on the flight and that the issue
has been immediately reported to the airport officials.
The Airport officials further
added that articles like power banks, lighter can be fatal and hence the
passengers are advised not to carry such dangerous items that can affect your
life and the smooth functioning of the airport.
