Mumbai: Passengers aboard a Mumbai-Delhi Air India flight were left frustrated on Monday afternoon after learning that an entire cargo container had failed to make the trip. The flight, which touched down at Indira Gandhi International Airport-Delhi at 3.08pm arrived with around 40 checked bags missing from its hold.The flight, AI 2677, departed Mumbai at 1.26pm, about 20 minutes behind schedule, but it made up for the delay and landed five minutes ahead of time. But the passengers’ delight over the early landing was short lived as many learned at the baggage carousel that their check-in bags hadn’t arrived on the flight. “We were informed upon arrival that our luggage remained at Mumbai airport. Airline officials attributed the oversight to unforeseen technical issues, although they offered few specifics regarding the nature of the glitch,” said a passenger.
