There was a sea of empty baggage carts at Delhi airport on Wednesday night when a SpiceJet flight from Dubai to New Delhi landed without any of its passengers’ belongings. After a short delay, flight SG-12, carrying 148 passengers, took off at 12 p.m. UAE time (1.30 p.m. IST) and touched down at Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport at approximately 5 p.m. Indian time, according to Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar. When travelers gathered around the conveyor belt and realized that not a single bag had traveled with them, the confusion started.
On X, another traveler named Deepak encapsulated the atmosphere: “Today, @SpiceJet set a new milestone. At Dubai Airport, they neglected customers’ bags after barely an hour-long delay in takeoff. According to reports, airline employees promised passengers that their goods will be transported in on the next available flight and requested that they complete Baggage Irregularity Reports .
According to some passengers, they were later told that the airline had to offload all of the checked baggage because the aircraft was overweight. Many people didn’t find this explanation credible. Suhana Bisht from Noida questioned, “If the bags were already weighed, how did they realize it was overweight after take-off She said that her suitcase included goods valued at more over Dh5,000.
