IndiGo ‘forgets’ to offload baggage, takes off for next flight
An IndiGo international flight bound for Bengaluru, India had to make a u-turn back to Singapore Changi Airport over a strange ‘memory lapse.’
Not long after take off it returned to Changi as the airline ‘forgot’ to offload passenger luggage from a prior international flight.
The Airbus A321neo landed back at Changi about one hour after it took off.
It contributed to a four-hour delay for passengers.
It is unclear how ground staff had simply forgotten to take of the bags from the earlier flight.
Nor is it clear if it involved all bags from the previous flight or just some.

IndiGo is India’s largest airline operating up to 2,000 flights daily.
