'HUNDREDS of passengers left Birmingham Airport without their luggage after a power cut caused chaos for travellers.'
From the Birmingham Post website today, which later reported an airport spokesman as saying that somewhere in the region of 1,000 hold items were involved.
The cause, a power failure...
i'm loathe to criticise the airport authority but if a relatively short power cut can have this effect, why is there no back-up power facility. Does this happen every time there is a power failure?
I feel for those involved, having to wait up to 48 hours for their luggage to arrive is neither pleasant nor is it likely to enamour those travelling with the ability of Bhx to cope with an emergency.
Am i being unfair??
